Oh My Posh
Catalog v12.
Oh My Posh is a prompt for Bash and Zsh. The module starts it with its own settings on two lines: the user and host, the directory, Git state and the duration of a slow command above, the prompt symbol below. It draws in the colors of the guest's theme.
Select
[shell]
prompt = "oh-my-posh"Apply the change after editing limanix.toml. The next limanix shell starts with Oh My Posh, in Zsh or in Bash.
Versions
Oh My Posh comes from the catalog's base Nixpkgs revision. This module has no version lines. Inside the VM, oh-my-posh version shows the version.
Use
| Part | Shows |
|---|---|
| First line | user@host, the directory, the Git branch with * for uncommitted changes and arrows for commits to push or pull, and how long a command over five seconds ran |
lmx words | Outside tmux, the words of lmx status --short that need attention, such as restart; inside tmux, its status line shows them |
| Prompt symbol | ❯, red after a failed command |
The managed settings use plain symbols, which every terminal font draws.
Colors
With the default system theme, Oh My Posh draws in the terminal's own colors. Another theme in [theme] of limanix.toml becomes the settings' palette, with one entry per role, and each part names its role, such as p:blue for the directory.
Configuration and integration
| Boundary | Contract |
|---|---|
| Shells | Bash and Zsh |
| Standard settings | An ordinary programs.bash.promptInit or programs.zsh.promptInit assignment replaces Oh My Posh in that shell |
| Personal state | POSH_THEME, set in the [env] table, names your own settings file; the managed palette does not apply to it |
| Services and capabilities | Reads the guest's theme |
Corner cases
| Case | Behavior or next step |
|---|---|
| A theme from the Oh My Posh gallery | Save its file in your home and set POSH_THEME to it; most gallery themes need a Nerd Font |
| Colors look wrong | A palette theme needs a terminal with 24-bit color; the system theme does not |
