The standard initialization sets Oh My Posh' default theme. This configuration is embedded
|
|
and thus kept up-to-date with Oh My Posh.
|
|
|
|
To set a new config/theme you need to change the `--config` option of the `oh-my-posh init <shell>`
|
|
line in your `profile` or `.<shell>rc` script (see [prompt][prompt]) and point it to the location of a
|
|
predefined [theme][themes] or custom configuration.
|
|
|
|
There are two possible values the `--config` flag can handle:
|
|
|
|
- a path to a local configuration file
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'C:/Users/Posh/jandedobbeleer.omp.json' | Invoke-Expression
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- a URL pointing to a remote config
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/main/themes/jandedobbeleer.omp.json' | Invoke-Expression
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get inspiration
|
|
|
|
The Windows and homebrew installers also bundle the **predefined configurations** ([themes][themes]). You can use the
|
|
following way to reference them directly. This will keep them up-to-date and compatible with future updates.
|
|
|
|
<Tabs
|
|
defaultValue="windows"
|
|
groupId="shell"
|
|
values={[
|
|

{ label: 'homebrew', value: 'homebrew', },

|
|
}>
|
|
<TabItem value="windows">
|
|
|
|
For example, to use the [jandedobbeleer][jandedobbeleer] theme, alter the init line like this (`powershell`):
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH/jandedobbeleer.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="homebrew">
|
|
|
|
When using homebrew, all themes are installed alongside Oh My Posh in `$(brew --prefix oh-my-posh)/themes`.
|
|
To use any of the themes, use the following syntax (`zsh`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config $(brew --prefix oh-my-posh)/themes/jandedobbeleer.omp.json)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
### Config syntax
|
|
|
|
The examples below use a local path to the [jandedobbeleer][jandedobbeleer] theme, adjust the `--config` value
|
|
to reflect your use-case.

Oh My Posh requires Nushell v0.78.0 or higher.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
Adjust the Oh My Posh init line in the Nushell env file (`$nu.env-path`) by adding the `--config` flag
|
|
with the location of your configuration.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
oh-my-posh init nu --config ~/jandedobbeleer.omp.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This saves the initialization script to `~/.oh-my-posh.nu`.
|
|
Now, edit the Nushell config file (`$nu.config-path`) and add the following line at the bottom:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
source ~/.oh-my-posh.nu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to save the initialization script elsewhere, you can change the first line to something like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
oh-my-posh init nu --config ~/jandedobbeleer.omp.json --print | save /mylocation/myscript.nu --force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And change the `source` line to:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
source /mylocation/myscript.nu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once altered, restart Nushell for the changes to take effect.

Adjust the Oh My Posh init line in your `$PROFILE` by adding the `--config` flag with the location

```powershell
|

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config ~/jandedobbeleer.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

```powershell

|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
When the above command gives an error, make sure to create the profile first and add the `oh-my-posh init` above.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this scenario, it can also be that PowerShell blocks running local scripts. To solve that, set PowerShell
|
|
to only require remote scripts to be signed using `Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned`, or [sign the profile][sign].

:::tip wsl
|
|
When using oh-my-posh in Windows and the WSL, know that you can **share your theme with the WSL** by pointing to a theme in your
|
|
Windows user's home folder.
|
|
|
|
Inside the WSL, you can find your Windows user's home folder here: `/mnt/c/Users/<WINDOWSUSERNAME>`.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
### Adjust a theme
|
|
|
|
Maybe there's a theme you like, but you don't fancy the colors. Or, maybe there's a segment you
|
|
want to tweak/add, or replace some of the icons with a different one. Whatever the case, **read through
|
|
available options first**, by starting with the [configuration guide][configuration].
|
|
|
|
You can export the current theme (default, or set via `--config`) to the format you like (`json`, `yaml`, or `toml`)
|
|
which can be used to tweak and store as your own custom theme.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
oh-my-posh config export --output ~/.mytheme.omp.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::caution
|
|
Be careful not to adjust the theme files in their original location as they're updated together with Oh My Posh
|
|
which will remove your customizations. Always copy, or export them and save the new configuration outside of the
|
|
Oh My Posh internal themes folder.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
### Read the docs
|
|
|
|
To fully understand how to customize a theme, read through the documentation in the configuration and segments sections.
|
|
The [configuration][configuration] section covers the basic building blocks and concepts of Oh My Posh themes, while the
|
|
segments section covers how to configure each available segment.
