Oh my posh on all windows terminals (vs code integrated terminal too!!)

#windows #powershell #vscode

First install the 'oh my posh' on your windows machine, by either visiting this or use the below command.



winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

Install fonts

go to https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases
search for 'Meslo.zip' and download it
unzip it and select all, right click and install all

NOTE - you can try any font but 'Meslo' worked well for '1_shell' theme

Install the theme - [official documentation]

for example I'll use '1_shell' theme
open the terminal and run the following command ```

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config ~/.1_shell.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

- restart the terminal

## Create a profile for your terminal [[official documentation](https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/installation/prompt)]
- open the terminal
- create a new profile by running the following command

notepad $PROFILE'
or
New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force

* this will create a file, so add the below line to it, and save it

oh-my-posh init pwsh | Invoke-Expression


## Modify the settings.json of the terminal
- open the terminal as an admin user
- press CTRL + SHIFT + ,
- this will open or prompt to select your favorite editor for the 'settings.json'

"profiles":
{
"defaults": {
"font":
{
"face": "MesloLGM NF"
}
}
...

- save it

## Modify the settings of VS code integrated terminal
- go to File -> Preferences -> Settings 
- search for @feature:terminal font
- add the font 'MesloLGM NF'
- save it (CTRL + S)

That's it, now you are a 10X developer :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
