+You can also create custom segments. Start by copying an existing segment like
+[this](https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell/blob/master/powerline_shell/segments/aws_profile.py).
+Make sure to change any relative imports to absolute imports. Ie. change things
+like:
+
+```python
+from ..utils import BasicSegment
+```
+
+to
+
+```python
+from powerline_shell.utils import BasicSegment
+```
+
+Then change the `add_to_powerline` function to do what you want. You can then
+use this segment in your configuration by putting the path to your segment in
+the segments section, like:
+
+```json
+"segments": [
+    "~/path/to/segment.py"
+]
+```
