oh-my-posh VS starship

# Download the correct binary for Linux (replace the URL with the latest version if needed) wget https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/releases/latest/download/posh-linux-amd64 -O oh-my-posh # Make the binary executable chmod +x oh-my-posh # Move the binary to a directory in your PATH sudo mv oh-my-posh /usr/local/bin/

Tip 2: Use oh-my-posh to customize your terminal prompt and make working in your terminal even more fun.

Initializes oh-my-posh and sets a prompt theme

I use starship (alternative: oh my posh) to get a fancy prompt. Both work on Linux, MacOS and Windows (including WSL), so you can have a consistent prompt no matter where you are.

oh-my-posh for Powershell on any platform.

It's the entire image in the middle. They're using tmux as their terminal. The logo and information is from a neofetch. The information at the bottom looks like it's from Oh My Posh but something similar could be done using something else like Starship.

have you seen https://ohmyposh.dev ?

Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

I'm staying on BitstromWera Nerd Font. Works great with Starship.

I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.

I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:

    git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
