Customize your terminal in PowerShell or WSL with Oh My Posh

ref: Microsoft

This tutorial provides some resources and direction to help you customize your command prompt for PowerShell or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) using Oh My Posh. Oh My Posh provides theme capabilities for a fully customized command prompt experience providing Git status color-coding and prompts.

Getting started

1. install Homebrew to recommended directory /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   

   Run these two commands in your terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH

   echo 'eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /home/chris/.profile
   eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
   

   We recommend that you install GCC

   brew install gcc
   

2. Install Nerd fonts
   I chose RobotoMono Nerd Font, since it has dashed zero, curved and straight character lines.
3. Follow the Linux install guide in the Oh My Posh docs

   brew tap jandedobbeleer/oh-my-posh
   brew install oh-my-posh
   

   Choose and apply a WSL prompt theme
   • The Oh My Posh themes will be found in the oh-my-posh directory as JSON files.
   • Go to cd $(brew --prefix oh-my-posh), then just cd themes and ls for the list.
   • Copy the theme agnoster to my user's $HOME folder

     cp agnoster.omp.json $HOME
     

     Add the following to ~/.profile

   eval "$(oh-my-posh --init --shell bash --config ~/agnoster.omp.json)"
   

   Once added, reload your profile for the changes to take effect.

   . ~/.profile
   

DONE
