Overview

Recently I moved from a Macbook Air to a windows machine and the thing I missed most was the git info in the terminal. Everything was so simple an sufficient with Oh My Zsh.

After spent some time, I found the perfect theme (https://github.com/AntonRyadovoy/Powershell-nord-theme/blob/main/nordcustom_v.3.yaml with a little tweak).

Setup

I believe that you already setup oh my posh.

Let’s go to the theme folder and create the theme file:

 cd $env:POSH_THEMES_PATH

Use any editor you want to put the following content

edit your profile to load the theme

 notepad $PROFILE

And put this line at the top to load the correct profile:

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH/nordcustom_v.3.yaml" | Invoke-Expression notepad $PROFILE

That’s it!

Result

oh my posh theme

This is exactly what I need.
