Right now it looks like there’s 2 options for a native M1 JDK:
Microsoft have JDK 17 builds for Windows, Linux and MacOS on x86, ARM64, and Apple M1:
Azul have OpenJDK builds also for Windows, Linux and MacOS, also for x64 and ARM:
I’ll probably download both to take them for a spin, but first up, Azul OpenJDK for M1.
I might be late to this party to realize this since when I take screenshots of things I normally drag to select what it is that I want to capture. As I was taking a screenshot of some windows on MacOS Monterey I used the ‘capture window’ option and was surprised the screenshot of a window is captured preserving the dropshadow in the image:

Previous script for setting git branch in bash shell is here.
For zsh, here’s an approach from this gist – add to your ~/.zshrc:
function parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -n -e 's/^\* \(.*\)/[\1]/p'
}
COLOR_DEF=$'\e[0m'
COLOR_USR=$'\e[38;5;243m'
COLOR_DIR=$'\e[38;5;197m'
COLOR_GIT=$'\e[38;5;39m'
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
export PROMPT='${COLOR_USR}%n ${COLOR_DIR}%~ ${COLOR_GIT}$(parse_git_branch)${COLOR_DEF} $ '
