Beautiful Terminal on Windows using Oh-My-Posh

Let’s get started and see how we can make our lives better with an awesome windows terminal. In today’s guide, I’ll show you how to install Oh-My-Posh for PowerShell with the Auto Suggestion module.

First, go to this link:

https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/installation/windows

Open Terminal. (Run as Administrator)
Then paste this line:

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

After installation, type in the terminal:

notepad $PROFILE

If this shows profile not found error, type this command:

New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force

Then re-run this command again:

notepad $PROFILE

This will open Powershell profile in Notepad.

In opened notepad, paste these lines:

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\craver.omp.json' | Invoke-Expression

Replace with the username of your PC.
After this, restart the terminal. If shows any error, paste the line below:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Then restart the terminal again. This time, Oh my Posh will be loaded.

For autocomplete, we have to install a module.
Paste this line in the terminal:

Install-Module PSReadLine -Force

After installation is complete, go to the PowerShell config file again and paste these lines:

Import-Module PSReadLine
Set-PSReadLineOption -EditMode Windows
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource History
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionViewStyle ListView
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionViewStyle InlineView

Save and restart the terminal again. Now autocomplete is also installed.

There might be some icons missing. For this, we have to install Nerd Fonts and set this in settings.
To install Nerd Font, go to this link:
https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

From there, I recommend installing the “CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font”.
Now go to Terminal settings -> appearance. Then in fonts settings, change the font to:  “CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font“

Now, if you want the same terminal in VS Code, change the default terminal of VS Code to Powershell.
Then go to vs code settings.
Search for terminal font, then set the font to “CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font“

That’s it. Now enjoy the beauty of Terminal with the power of AutoComplete.
