:::info
This feature only works in `fish`, `zsh`, `powershell` and `cmd` for the time being.
:::
Transient prompt, when enabled, replaces the prompt with a simpler one to allow more screen real estate.
You can use go [text/template][go-text-template] templates extended with [sprig][sprig] to enrich the text.
Environment variables are available, just like the [`console_title_template`][console-title] functionality.
Typically, your prompt will simply leave the prompt on the screen when you execute a command (or press enter) like so:
![Before Transient](/img/transient-before.gif)
By enabling Transient Prompt, you can replace the prompt with some other content for a cleaner console as shown here:
![After Transient](/img/transient-after.gif)
## Configuration
You need to extend or create a custom theme with your transient prompt. For example:
```json
{
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/main/themes/schema.json",
"blocks": {
...
},
"transient_prompt": {
"background": "transparent",
"foreground": "#ffffff",
"template": "{{ .Shell }}> "
}
}
```
The configuration has the following properties:
- foreground: `string` [color][colors]
- foreground_templates: foreground [color templates][color-templates]
- background: `string` [color][colors]
- background_templates: background [color templates][color-templates]
- template: `string` - a go [text/template][go-text-template] template extended with [sprig][sprig] utilizing the
properties below - defaults to `{{ .Shell }}> `
## Template ([info][templates])
- `.Root`: `boolean` - is the current user root/admin or not
- `.PWD`: `string` - the current working directory
- `.Folder`: `string` - the current working folder
- `.Shell`: `string` - the current shell name
- `.UserName`: `string` - the current user name
- `.HostName`: `string` - the host name
- `.Code`: `int` - the last exit code
- `.Env.VarName`: `string` - Any environment variable where `VarName` is the environment variable name
