brew install go

Powerline-go Installation​

go get -u github.com/justjanne/powerline-go

Configuration

Bashrc​

Open ~/ .bashrc with Vim or nano and add the following.

GOPATH=$HOME/go
function _update_ps1() {
   PS1="$( $GOPATH/bin/powerline-go -newline -error $? )"
}
if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ] && [ -f "$GOPATH/bin/powerline-go" ]; then
   PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
fi

Run source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes.

Font

This should finish it, but there might be character encoding issues. You need to set a font that corresponds to Powerline. On Windows, you can use Cascadia Code PL or Cascadia Mono PL.

We recommend PlemolJP from https://github.com/yuru7/PlemolJP/. Download it from https://github.com/yuru7/PlemolJP/releases, click on PlemolJP_NF_vX.X.X.zip, download, extract, and install the font. Set the font to PlemolJP35 Console NF.
