It looks like this:

For folders with git repos, you see which branch you are working on and you get green background for clean repos and yellow for changes.

The look is inspired by Powerline for Vim, and Zsh's theme agnoster.

Requirements

Download the AnonymousPro font
You'll be able to use any font in Cmder, but this font contains the symbols included in the prompt. Chances are good that most of the other Powerline fonts will work, too. Font used in screenshots is: Roboto Mono Medium for Powerline

Usage

Download the .lua file, and place it in %CMDER_ROOT%/config folder.
Restart Cmder to load the prompt.

Alternatively, if you want to maintain link with the original repo, you can clone this repo into any folder
git clone https://github.com/Tset-Noitamotua/cmder-powerline-venv-prompt.git git-repo-folder-name
then create a symbolic link from the %CMDER_ROOT%/config folder to the .lua file.

cd %CMDER_ROOT%/config  
mklink /H powerline_venv_prompt.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/powerline_venv_prompt.lua
