Installation

You need to use the PowerShell Gallery to install oh-my-posh.

Install posh-git and oh-my-posh:

Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser

Enable the prompt:

# Start the default settings
Set-Prompt
# Alternatively set the desired theme:
Set-Theme Agnoster

Are you getting less space on the PowerShell due to the long path of the current directory?

You can increase the signal to noise ratio by hiding that long path. How?

Follow the steps:

• Navigate to PowerShell and type $profile.
  

• It will give you a path to the PowerShell profile file.
• Navigate to the directory of that PowerShell profile file.
  It was “C:\Users\{user}\Documents\WindowsPowerShell” for me.
• Check if the file “Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1” exists on the disk.
• If NOT then create one “Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1”.
• Open “Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1” file.
• Paste the following code in it and save.

function prompt {
  $p = Split-Path -leaf -path (Get-Location)
  "$p> "
}

• Restart PowerShell.

• It will show the current folder name only.
