Oh My Posh

I’ve just have enough time to play around with Oh My Posh and I love it. This is another installation guide in Windows for my future records.

Install Oh My Posh

You need to install it or from Microsoft store or by winget:

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

You will need to restart your terminal to reload environment vars.

Upgrade Oh My Posh

Same than before:

winget upgrade JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

Use Oh My Posh

Edit your $PROFILE and add the following:

oh-my-posh init pwsh | Invoke-Expression

Install Oh My Posh fonts

To do that just run:

oh-my-posh font install --user

And install Cascadia Code

Then we need to configure it.

Configure it in Windows Terminal

On Windows Terminal push CTRL + SHIFT + , and then in the seting.json include:

{
      "profiles": {
        "defaults": {
            "font": {
                "face": "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font Mono"
            }
        }
      }
}

Configure it in Visual Studio Code

Open setings.json with CTRL + , and then include in the user one:

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font Mono'"

Install Oh My Posh’s theme

To do that just run:

Get-PoshThemes

Then you will need to include in your $PROFILE something like:

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\montys.omp.json' | Invoke-Expression

Color folders

There is one more touch very interesting. Install:

Install-Module -Name Terminal-Icons -Repository PSGallery

And then include in $PROFILE this:

Import-Module -Name Terminal-Icons

Posh Git

Another good thing to have is Posh-Git module. To do that:

Install-Module Posh-Git

And then include in $PROFILE this:

Import-Module Posh-Git

And with that in place, you’re rocking!
