I will show you how to customize your Windows Terminal (could also be used in Linux or Windows 10). We set up color schemes, fonts, and a cool-looking prompt that you can use for any shell (like PowerShell, zsh, or bash in WSL2) #Windows #WindowsTerminal #WSL2

Great video, I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. Several hours well spent configuring and customising this across my WSL environments and standardising my terminals. Also led me to install and configure exa which I wasn't aware of but is great. A warning to anyone that uses Defender for Endpoint and Attack Surface Reduction rules; starship.exe is blocked by "Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria". I had to disable this to get it working. I'm hoping that MS implement a way to whitelist applications in the future. I also wish there was a way to install Starship without Chocolatey, I don't really want to run/use Chocolatey, but I couldn't figure out how.

timestamp 15:46 - colormap for bash, if you don't have/want zsh, the following bash shell function produces identical output. function colormap() { for c in {0..255}; do let "d=($c+3)%6" printf "\x1b[48;5;%dm \x1b[49m\x1b[38;5;%dm%03d \x1b[0;37;40m" $c $c $c if [ "$d" -eq "0" ]; then echo ""; fi done; echo }

@dedpossum66 2 года назад

Thank you again for you videos Cristian! Your thoughts on oh-my-posh vs. starship? Personally I like oh-my-posh but it appears that starship-prompt offers more options. Some timestamps that were especially helpful ( I will use these later this week, I will have a new laptop to configure ) - 15:05 character maps - 16:00 distro logos

@christianlempa 2 года назад

Thank you! Great feedback on the timestamps :) I haven't tried out oh-my-posh, but I wanted to until someone recommended me starship. And to me personally starship looks a bit better and was very straightforward.

@dedpossum66 2 года назад

@@christianlempa Now having tried both, I think that the starship is just all around better. The problem with Posh is visual corruption in windows terminal, and that it can feel quite clunky and is generally less customizable.

You'll need to install it once per OS, but invoke it on each shell, so powershell needs a different init script than bash or zsh

@mcdazz2011 Год назад

I'm not sure if they've changed something, but after I installed it, I wanted to use it for SSH'ing to a Linux box. Nope. The option for Debian - Ctrl + Shift + 3 errors with a: [process exited with code 1 (0x00000001)] This was when I was selecting the Terminal for Debian. From there, you actually need to install the WSL subsystem (Linux on top of Windows). Installing this requires the Windows Virtual Machine Platform, which will prevent VirtualBox VMs from starting up. Waste of time.

I think it should be independet from the prompt, because it sounds like a function of zsh, which is of course fully supported in starship.
