Posh2K - A universal prompt for power users 💪🌈

#opensource #showdev #linux #powerfuldevs

What is this

Posh2K is a prompt for oh-my-posh, it works on all shells, has multiple segments with aesthetically pleasing colors.

Inspiration

Most of my workflow is based on the command line, recently I had to use a Windows system for some work and was really displeased by the CLI experience.

So, I needed a prompt that can work across shells and has support for different segments and Posh2K was born.

Prerequisites

You have installed the latest version of oh-my-posh

Honestly, after using this for quite a while, this is REALLY AWESOME. Because sometimes when the branch is master or main, I can just glance up to the terminal to see which branch I have to commit to, making this extremely useful. Thanks!

yup, you also get indicators for language versions, env settings and even much more if you customize custom sections, sky is the limit!

I assume you don't run this. But where do you add this thing? 😁😊😅😶‍🌫️

Wj • Dec 5 '22

I am using cmd, installed clink, installed oh-my-posh, but have no idea where to add this line of code

Abhishek Keshri • Dec 5 '22

You are right, I don't use cmd/clink but it should have options to write configs in lua

oh no actually windows 11 can't really change anuthing to settings 😱 lmao I think I'm going to die wait a sec need to do more digging

Wj • Dec 6 '22

the code below is incomprehensible to my knowledge

erm... ok one question for you, where did you actually get the line of code for clink and cmd? To add it? (in which case, I am saying, if you have any documentation maybee it's better to link it on the readme hehehehudhfedhe ok sorry I'll do more digging)
