Im glad youre covering this one, been using oh-my-posh for ages and its the best prompt ive ever used!

I absolutely love the style of your videos. You not only share the step by step path for the build, configuration or topic you're trying to show, but also give a full rundown and explain the why and hows in which you came up with that specific configuration. It not only helps the viewer to build it and follow with more precision, but also teaches them in case they want to edit it to their own use case. It's amazing to watch and learn new things, you are building truly amazing videos. Keep it up my man

i love this "Fine, i will do it my self" energy.

Some weeks ago I was looking Oh My Posh. This awesome video appears just in time :D

I've been using oh-my-posh and it's awesome! Quite simple for configuring

I love starship

a good thing to include in this is to install the correct font so you can get the symbols! But this was great! I got this up and running in warp!

great work! very nicely explained!

amazing video as usual!

Very detailed explanation, thank you.

I will definitely have to give oh-my-posh a look. I have obviously heard of it, but never gave it any attention, as I have been a p9/10k user for years. As this has just become my standard goto when configuring my terminal on a system, I haven't really explored others for quite some time.

This channel is an absolute gem! I love your overall style, editing flow and preference to more zen minimalist setups. Got myself setup with p10k from your vid, loving it!

I just love the "pure" prompt. It's so clean and no bs. I just install it with oh-my-zsh, no middleman.

Today I wrote a fish prompt in fish since my try to replicate my historic zsh prompt with starship went terribly wrong. (CONDITIONS COLORS AND TEXTS WHERE ARE YOU !) So what a funny surprise to see OhMyPosh. This tools seem to solve all my issues with starship but also bring interesting features ! (Like conditional colors yeah). I may try it one day but before it’s can be a good idea to just profit of my new prompt before just throwing in the bin 😅

It's always a good day when DoA uploads

"me and catppuccin have gone our separate ways..." and now I need to know more 😄 I think it was your NvChad or tmux vids that put me on catppuccin and I do like it. I'm intrigued to know why you're no longer using it. Regardless, another great vid! I suspect I'll be trying the zen-zsh from your other vid. Keep up the great content.

i think this is your best video so far Elliot 🎉

This is so good! Thanks man.

Just a point of order: PowerShell itself is cross-platform. It's not Windows only. 💡

your videos on Dreams of Code channel are top notch, and now I have found this channel, that is amazing!

I used your config on Mac, zsh and Alacritty. Everything works besides transient prompt. Before I had it working using p10k

To be honest, something I liked about p10k was the ease of switching between templates interactively. Lately I want to use my time writing code instead of wasting time writing code to write code.

i been using oh-my-posh for a while now started using it on windows because it's one of the few that works with powershell, and then went i like this install it into my WSL environments :D

First this is the most person who explain every single line of his code ❤thanks 👍 second thing where did you download all of your wallpaper ❤thank you

I think the "posix-compliance" argument against fish is overcooked - yes there are some differences in the way you do some things, but for everyday interactive use it's so much better (setting variables is SANE, and fish_add_path makes PATH simple). Tide prompt for fish is what I've settled on (after jumping between starship and it for a while) for the transient prompt and quick async feel. The customizability is a bit lacking but everything else makes up. Cheers and thanks for sharing the knowledge :) I've always been curious about oh-my-posh as well

17:10 the "round" format is exactly what you're looking for

That Tmux config looks amazing, can we get the tutorial for that? Or the dotfiles at least.

yet another great video, awesome work! when'll you stream again?

in the past, i had some issues with omp, which I can't remember what those were, so i just went back to starship. i might look it at it again since it is now cross platform so that I can use same stuff for my powershell and my wsl instance, and it has some nice features too!

Tbh fish and omp also work great together in my experience: you really get hooked on the experience, if i do say so myself

What a beautiful video

Can you make a video about your arch configuration? It looks nice btw)

f👏i👏s👏h

Can you make a video about the configuration of your tmux themes. I really like it, but i don't know how to make it like your themes

Hi, could you showcase your Linux rice? Love how your terminal/setup looks in all your videos ❤

I thought oh my posh was the equivalent of oh my zsh for POwerSHell

How fast does it start up? What I like about p10k is the instant prompt. Does omp have something similar? I remember starship being slower than p10k on zsh because starship has to give up on shell-specific optimisations that p10k enjoys.

Can you please share your t-mux configuration? I like the way it looks :)

Very nice configuration! Can you make a video on how you configured the bottom part of the console? Thanks for sharing!

I used to use omp on windows. Maybe I should give that a shot on linux. Really sad to see p10k go.

Btw, my p10k prompt is basically identical as yours and I had no idea they went into 'life support' mode. I've peen using ohmyposh in pwsh, so I might check it out myself (which seems, copying your config will do).

Well s**t, there goes my weekend. ;)

I'm not real familiar with go formatting. Is it possible to use a calculated fill width? In particular, I would like to set the length of the secondary prompt to line up with the end of the base command.

Tokyonight-Storm and P10K-Lean is my favorite (with a bit of color and icon tweaks) You should share your theme in OMP-themes.

Need a video on your tmux config! Or whatever that bottom line is

Hey everyone, I could use a bit of help. I've gone through the documentation (RTFM), but I'm still unable to figure out how to display only the directory name when I'm in a Git repository. I don't want the full path to show up, just the directory name. However, if I'm not in a Git repository, then I do want the full path to be displayed. How can I achieve this?

What the fonts did you use in your distro and terminal ❤

I would love to see Nix videos on this channel. Since it's a bit different from the other distributions, I find it a bit hard to configure ( I guess I'm a newbie ). But it's very desirable because it's stable and has the package manager is the best

What is the bottombar on your terminal? It seems to be shell tabs, some sort of tmux / zelijj / wezterm with styling? Didn't spot it on your dotfiles

My suggestion plugin used to function with oh-my-zsh, what is the one he is using and how can I set it up to work in oh-my-posh ? Thanks in advance !

A couple of weeks ago I spent almost half a day configuring oh-my-posh only to find out the next Monday that it interacts badly with poetry (python package manger) that I have to use at work. For some reason `poetry shell` doesn't properly start the virtual environment when I use oh-my-posh. No issues with starship. I was able to reproduce this on another machine as well. Bummer. I'll try to come up with some minimal instructions to reproduce it and file an issue...

I’m very interested in that tmux conf …

What terminal do you use? I'm really curious cause it looks really clean

hello. I was wondering how you designed the tmux bottom toolbar in the video, please share it in your next video. Thank you.

what is the background color of your terminal?

People seem to like bells and whistles. If you're into pimping your prompt, then I guess OMP is nice. Just remember you don't have to use it. Especially if what you end up with is a fairly standard looking prompt without the fancy backgrounds. I had to write half of the functions I wanted anyway and like my prompt to be clean text, so I finally deleted OMP and just have a couple of bash scripts without dependencies. And also learned how to customize PS1 in the process, so I can modify it without having to look for someone else's scripts.

I think the point of using a non POSIX shell like fish is purely to have a good user experience, and then you script in bash and launch scripts in bash.

I like your accent!

4 minutes ago is crazy

oh-my-posh was ridiculously slow back then when I have to use Windows 10 for work. It needs a whopping 7 seconds for the first launch until it's ready and ~2-3 second for the subsequent run. Maybe it's just Windows issue since even the stock PowerShell 7 needs ~3-5 seconds at first launch and ~1-2 seconds for the next launch. I missed my instantaneous zinit + p10k setup during those times.

I first used Starship on Linux, and only recently found out that it works on Windows too. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN USE TRANSIENT PROMPT???

Transient prompts do make it harder to give an ai context about your pwd when using ai to debug

Ohh Starship

Subjunctive mood. If this be the case, . . .

I found Oh My Posh quite slower than Starship. Oh, it also supports transient prompts

I'm very interested in your project that uses JS and Golang in the same repo. I have a project that I'd LOVE to transition my backend to Golang and always thought I'd have to do it in different directories. Would you care to explain how you managed to do that?

Hey, could you share your tmux status bar config?

In powerlevel10k, i could just install it with zinit, so thath if i just copy zsh folder & the p10k config file, start terminal, zinit would setup everything. Is that possible here?

tried oh my posh for serval days, but the transient prompt never worked.

can you give the the link to download your wallpaper ?

I totally disagree with you on the look of the prompt, but will overlook this disgust on account of this being a really really great video.

Any Idea why the secondary prompt always falls back to default config?

This guy gets what it means to be zen!

I hope you ever make a nixos version.

What terminal emulator is that? It looks awesome

Nothing wrong with using "unmaintained" software. If it works, it works.

If I use any color scheme, then it going to override the colors defined statically ?

Hyprland video incoming.

It wasn't a coincidence (LOL).

I much prefer starship. I found it to be easier to use.

Wait. Oh My Posh is available for other shells aside from Powershell?

Was really painful seeing you type "clear", try ctrl+l Old school terminal clear signal (Love your high quality animations btw, would love to know how you edit and create these)

What tool are you using as tabs manager?

which WM are you using ?

what kind of absolute psychopath prefers yaml? madness

What do you think of nix without home manager (but with flakes)? I love the stow program to handle dotfiles but I'm not fond of home manager So I've been trying to wrangle nix to work like it's another dotfile to manage my installed binaries and hardware settings / tweaks that I need but don't fancy having to manually edit in /etc/ Right now it kinda feels like lazy-nvim in that I have a flake-nix file to bootstrap the config file, which handles all the system tweaks, and then it imports a packages nix file, which holds all the program and service names to install. A bit like something you'd parse and pipe into paru/pacman. Then it loads the nix files in modules folder (thinking of it, it's not a very apt name). These are all the nix flake files containing where to source the files (ie github) and how to install them. It's a bit like aur package files. The nice thing is being able to also throw in plugins or extra things to install together. Example being hyprland - I can lump the hyprland-related files and hyprpm plugins and make hyprland load hyprpm (something you can't do in hyprlag conf file) And the nice thing is that if I decide to switch to, say, sway - I can uncomment the import line in the packages nix file - all the plugins and hyprlock and hypridle etc etc are also gone. Was thinking what you think about it. Many people will recommend home manager but I don't feel convinced since everything isn't standardised but forced awkwardly to conform to nix-lang and ultimately dotfiles need to be sourced anyways. The only downside is that I need to symlink my ~/.config/nixos to /etc/ But then everything works like clockwork. I've contemplated so much on going back to arch but being able to manage everything in my config folder is awesome.

Switch to fish sooner than later. I wish I had. Imo, both posix and structured data are YAGNI for your interactive shell.

Try starship.

Wallpaper link please

TMUX

You should reconsider your opinion on fish

Why exactly is the Non Posix shell a problem? If you wanna run commands from old scripts, like .sh you just have to put a comment on the top of the file or execute it via shell... Years ago I made the switch to fish and was skeptical of it being a good idea.... it turns out fish is awesome

Bro just just ship to fish.

Please compare to starship ...

You "prefer a minimal experience"? Disable those icons on tmux, then 👍 😂

is oh-my-posh a replacement for oh-my-zsh?

also the catppuccin gtk theme is no longer maintained

How different is Oh My Posh from Oh My Zsh?

i find starship cleaner in general

Half-life is the best theme.
