Customize PowerShell through Powerline to provide Git status prompt, beautify Windows Terminal, and get an excellent terminal experience
Here is Microsoft's official tutorial:
However, the documents given by Microsoft are flawed. At the time of writing this article, the documents have not been modified. You might as well follow my steps to set them
Install fonts for OhMyPosh
If the font is not installed, the terminal may be garbled in the end
Here, we need to install the Meslo LGM NF font, which is officially recommended by Oh my Posh. When using the Cascadia Code PL and Cascadia Mono PL recommended by Microsoft, the icon will not be displayed
Github link:
https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.1.0/Meslo.zip
Bad network can be downloaded through Github's mirror station
https://hub.fastgit.org/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.1.0/Meslo.zip
After downloading, unzip it, enter the ttf folder, select the ttf files in the following figure, which are regular, bold, italic and bold italic respectively, and right-click to install
After installation, you can preview in font settings
Installing posh GIT and oh my posh in PowerShell
Before performing this step, make sure you have git installed
In this step, we will install posh GIT and oh my posh:
In the PoweShell window, open PowerShell with Terminal, and execute the following command
Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser
If you want to install for all users, use the administrator to open Terminal or PowerShell and execute the following command
Install-Module posh-git Install-Module oh-my-posh
If an untrusted repository appears, select A
If you need to update both tools, execute the following command
Update-Module -Name posh-git Update-Module -Name oh-my-posh
Note that globally installed modules require administrator privileges to be updated
After the update, we need to uninstall the old version of the module
Get the version number of the module first. You need to remember the version number of the old version
Get-Module -ListAvailable
Uninstalling older versions of modules
Uninstall-Module -Name "posh-git" -RequiredVersion "0.7.3" Uninstall-Module -Name "oh-my-posh" -RequiredVersion "3.106.7"
Finally, confirm whether the uninstall is successful
Customize PowerShell prompt
Now import posh GIT and oh my posh into the current PowerShell window
Import-Module posh-git Import-Module oh-my-posh
Then we enter the following command to preview the effect
Get-PoshThemes
Choose the theme you like and remember its name. I choose honukai theme here
Enter this command
notepad $PROFILE
Add the following content to execute the commands in PowerShell every time you open it
Import-Module posh-git Import-Module oh-my-posh Set-PoshPrompt -Theme honukai
Save and exit, reopen PowerShell, and you will see the theme you selected
This is different from Microsoft's official documents, because the new version of oh my posh is rewritten with go, and the instruction has changed, so the old command is invalid
Windows terminal beautification
Open Terminal, click Ctrl + to open the configuration file
My configuration file is released here. You can also set it yourself, but the "fontFace" must be set to MesloLGM NF font, otherwise it will be garbled
"fontFace": "MesloLGM NF",

This is the picture in the file. This picture was thrown into my mailbox by Microsoft one day. It's very nice and has been used for a long time

So far, our beautification has been basically completed
