Install PowerShell

To get started install the .NET Core powered PowerShell from the Microsoft Store.

Install and setup theme

When you have PowerShell installed, get Oh My Posh. This can be done easily by following their guide at Oh My Posh Installation. Use it to:

• Install Oh My Posh
• Install NerdFont (Includes icons needed)
• Configure your terminal to use font

To use the setup in this repo, add theme.omp.json to the location pointed to by the environment variable POSH_THEMES_PATH (default path is C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes). Add the following line to your PowerShell profile (open with VS Code: code $PROFILE).

oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH\theme.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

To edit the theme in VS Code, run the following line in your terminal.

code "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH\theme.omp.json"

Update theme colors in your terminal to make it look sexy.
