:::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][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.
## Configuration
You need to extend or create a custom theme with your secondary prompt override. For example:
```json
{
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/main/themes/schema.json",
"blocks": [
...
],
"secondary_prompt": {
"background": "transparent",
"foreground": "#ffffff",
"template": "-> "
}
}
```
