We are going to use "OH MY POSH"

Windows | Oh My Posh

In order to do that, we need NERD Fonts.

3. Install a Font:

Nerd Fonts - Iconic font aggregator, glyphs/icons collection, & fonts patcherNerd Fonts

4. Install Oh My Posh

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://ohmyposh.dev/install.ps1'))

Choose an Oh My Posh theme:

Themes | Oh My Posh

5. Save the configs:

In Windows Terminal - Go to Settings

• Appearance → Choose the new Theme (from Step 2)

• Appearance → Font → Choose the new Font (from Step 3)

• Type "notepad $PROFILE" in PowerShell → add the theme of Oh My Posh (from Step 4)

  oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config ~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/craver.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

The one in the example (craver), It's what I'm using currently

Maybe you need to "bypass" the ExecutionPolicy

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
