## What

Displays the execution time of the previously executed command.

To use this, use the PowerShell module, or confirm that you are passing an `execution-time` argument containing the
elapsed milliseconds to the oh-my-posh executable.
The installation guide shows how to include this argument for PowerShell and Zsh.

  }
}}/>
