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

PowerShell
​x
 
 cd $env:POSH_THEMES_PATH

Use any editor you want to put the following content
