## What
Display the current path.
## Sample Configuration
```json
{
"type": "path",
"style": "powerline",
"powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
"foreground": "#ffffff",
"background": "#61AFEF",
"properties": {
"style": "folder",
"mapped_locations": {
"C:\\temp": "\ue799"
}
}
}
```
## Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
| --------------------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `folder_separator_icon` | `string` | the symbol to use as a separator between folders - defaults to platform path separator |
| `folder_separator_template` | `string` | the [template][templates] to use as a separator between folders - defaults to `` |
| `home_icon` | `string` | the icon to display when at `$HOME`, defaults to `~` |
| `folder_icon` | `string` | the icon to use as a folder indication - defaults to `..` |
| `windows_registry_icon` | `string` | the icon to display when in the Windows registry - defaults to `\uE0B1` |
| `style` | `enum` | how to display the current path |
| `mixed_threshold` | `number` | the maximum length of a path segment that will be displayed when using `Mixed` - defaults to `4` |
| `max_depth` | `number` | maximum path depth to display before shortening when using `agnoster_short`, defaults to `1` |
| `hide_root_location` | `boolean` | hides the root location if it doesn't fit in the last `max_depth` folders, when using `agnoster_short` - defaults to `false` |
## Mapped Locations
Allows you to override a location with an icon. It validates if the current path **starts with** the value and replaces
it with the icon if there's a match. To avoid issues with nested overrides, Oh My Posh will sort the list of mapped
locations before doing a replacement.
| Name | Type | Description |
| -------------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `mapped_locations_enabled` | `boolean` | replace known locations in the path with the replacements before applying the style - defaults to `true` |
| `mapped_locations` | `object` | custom glyph/text for specific paths. Works regardless of the `mapped_locations_enabled` |
setting.
For example, to swap out `C:\Users\Leet\GitHub` with a GitHub icon, you can do the following:
```json
"mapped_locations": {
"C:\\Users\\Leet\\GitHub": "\uF09B"
}
```
### Notes
- Oh My Posh will accept both `/` and `\` as path separators for a mapped location and will match regardless of which
is used by the current operating system.
- The character `~` at the start of a mapped location will match the user's home directory.
- The match is case-insensitive on Windows and macOS, but case-sensitive on other operating systems.
This means that for user Bill, who has a user account `Bill` on Windows and `bill` on Linux, `~/Foo` might match
`C:\Users\Bill\Foo` or `C:\Users\Bill\foo` on Windows but only `/home/bill/Foo` on Linux.
## Style
Style sets the way the path is displayed. Based on previous experience and popular themes, there are 5 flavors.
- `agnoster`
- `agnoster_full`
- `agnoster_short`
- `agnoster_left`
- `full`
- `folder`
- `mixed`
- `letter`
- `unique`
### Agnoster
Renders each folder as the `folder_icon` separated by the `folder_separator_icon`.
Only the current folder name is displayed at the end.
### Agnoster Full
Renders each folder name separated by the `folder_separator_icon`.
### Agnoster Short
When more than `max_depth` levels deep, it renders one `folder_icon` (if `hide_root_location` is `false`) followed by
the names of the last `max_depth` folders, separated by the `folder_separator_icon`.
### Agnoster Left
Renders each folder as the `folder_icon` separated by the `folder_separator_icon`.
Only the root folder name and it's child are displayed in full.
### Full
Display `$PWD` as a string.
### Folder
Display the name of the current folder.
### Mixed
Works like `Agnoster Full`, but for any middle folder short enough it will display its name instead. The maximum length
for the folders to display is governed by the `mixed_threshold` property.
### Letter
Works like `Full`, but will write every subfolder name using the first letter only, except when the folder name
starts with a symbol or icon.
- `folder` will be shortened to `f`
- `.config` will be shortened to `.c`
- `__pycache__` will be shortened to `__p`
- `➼ folder` will be shortened to `➼ f`
### Unique
Works like `Letter`, but will make sure every folder name is the shortest unique value.
The uniqueness refers to the displayed path, so `C:\dev\dev\dev\development` will be displayed as
`C:\d\de\dev\development` (instead of `C:\d\d\d\development` for `Letter`). Uniqueness does _not_ refer to other
folders at the same level, so if `C:\projectA\dev` and `C:\projectB\dev` exist, then both will be displayed as
`C:\p\dev`.
## Template ([info][templates])
:::note default template
```template
{{ .Path }}
```

### Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
| ------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| `.Location` | `string` | the current directory (raw value) |
| `.StackCount` | `int` | the stack count |
| `.Writable` | `boolean` | is the current directory writable by the user or not |
