Windows Terminal

1-setting-up-oh-my-posh.md

Setting up OhMyPosh

1. Install latest Windows Terminal

   winget install --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -e
   
   # or the very latest
   
   winget install --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal.Preview -e
   
   

2. Install the latest Powershell (7.3.x)

   winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell -s winget
   

3. Install OhMyPosh

   winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget
   

4. Restart terminal or launch new window

   wt.exe
   

5. Install NerdFont

   Using oh-my-posh cli (beta)

   oh-my-posh font install
   > meslo
   

   It's recommended that you enable the latest text rendering engine in Windows Terminal
   
   Profiles -> Shell -> Advanced -> Use the new text renderer ("AtlasEngine")
   

6. Install PS-Readline

   Install-Module PSReadLine -AllowPrerelease -Force
   
   

7. Update powershell profile settings in terminal (make it your default too)

   
       // In settings set command line to new powershell
       "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe" -NoLogo
   
       // Alternately, open Json Settings File
       {
           "colorScheme": "One Half Dark",
           "commandline": "\"C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\7\\pwsh.exe\" -NoLogo",
           "cursorShape": "filledBox",
           "elevate": true,
           "font": 
           {
               "face": "MesloLGS Nerd Font",
               "size": 10.0
           },
           "guid": "{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}",
           "hidden": false,
           "name": "Shell",
           "padding": "15",
           "source": "Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore",
           "useAtlasEngine": true
       },
   
   

8. Edit your powershell profile

   code $Profile
   

   • Paste in the content from Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1
   • Copy 'MyPoshProfile.ps1' to a path you want to use for powershell scripts (default is Documents\Powershell)
   • I've included the marcduiker.omp.json theme but it should be included with OhMyPosh

Alternate Font Sources

• MesloLGM NF
• Other NerdFonts
