Powerline is a shell prompt and statusline plugin for vim, written in Python. It makes working with terminal much more fun and colorful. Here is an example of how the prompt looks like with Powerline.
As you can see from the screenshot, powerline gives you a colorful and visual attractive prompt. If you are in a git repository, it also tells you which branch you are currently working on.
