    Can we add Nerd Fonts to Cascadia Code Font using a GitHub Action

  • There are numerous themes for oh-my-posh. I'm using powerlevel10k rainbow, but there are missing icons even on the oh-my-posh website. You'll need a unique typeface to get this appearance. Oh-my-posh recommends Meslo LGM NF, but I went with Delugia Nerd Font Complete. Is is a Cascadia Code "Extended", which includes Nerd Fonts and powerline glyphs.

  • azure-cli

    Azure Command-Line Interface

  • What about Az CLI? The proof of concept is easy, but it isn't a top priority for Azure team 😥, just check GitHub. The gist is the only thing I've found, but I'm not using it.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • oh-my-posh

    The most customisable and low-latency cross platform/shell prompt renderer

  • That's great for displaying dynamic segments. What does this imply? When I type kubectl, for example, I want to see information about Kubernetes context, but I don't need it most of the time. The same goes for az and aws. The oh-my-posh author guides me to a MagicTooltips module. I'll probably have to submit a PR there to include namespace as well. Anyway, I choose to set it up as follows:

  • MagicTooltips

    PowerShell module to display contextual information about the command you're currently entering.

  • Terminal-Icons module - check screenshot
