Prettier terminal

Either install a modern terminal like Warp, or do the following to jazz up any terminal.

Install a nerd font - these have glyphs (icons) built in, then a better prompt like starship to make use of those glyphs:

brew install font-caskaydia-cove-nerd-font
brew install starship

Env var

Add environment variables:

# add eng vars
export pton_user="use@somedomain.com"
export pton_password="my_strong_password"

Read in changes in the .zshrc profile:

source .zshrc
