:::info This feature only works in powershell, zsh and bash for the time being. :::

The secondary prompt is displayed when a command text spans multiple lines. The default is > .

You can use go text/template templates extended with sprig to enrich the text. Environment variables are available, just like the console_title_template functionality.

Configuration

You need to extend or create a custom theme with your secondary prompt override. For example:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/main/themes/schema.json",
    "blocks": [
        ...
    ],
    "secondary_prompt": {
        "background": "transparent",
        "foreground": "#ffffff",
        "template": "-> "
    }
}

The configuration has the following properties:

• background: string color
• foreground: string color
• template: string - a go text/template template extended with sprig utilizing the properties below - defaults to >

Template (info)

• .Root: boolean - is the current user root/admin or not
• .Shell: string - the current shell name
• .UserName: string - the current user name
