This tool redesigns your command line so it quietly displays useful information as you work — which folder you're in, your current git branch and any uncommitted changes, the programming language version active in a project, plus extras like the time or battery level. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux across shells like PowerShell, Bash, Zsh, and Fish, and doesn't require you to sign up for an account or get an API key. If you use a terminal-based coding assistant such as Claude Code, it can install oh-my-posh, pick a theme, and edit the configuration for you.

README
oh-my-posh FAQ
Can I use this to show my git branch and status in the terminal?
Yes — oh-my-posh comes with built-in pieces that read your git repository and display the branch name, uncommitted changes, and more, right in your prompt.
Can I use this to make my terminal look the same on every computer I use?
Yes — you save your chosen theme in one configuration file and copy it to any Windows, macOS, or Linux machine to get the identical prompt everywhere.
Do I need an account or an API key to use this?
No — oh-my-posh runs entirely on your own computer and does not require signing up for an account or entering an API key.
Which terminals and shells does this work with?
It works across common shells such as PowerShell, Bash, Zsh, Fish, and Nushell, on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Do I need to know how to code to set this up?
Setting it up means installing a small program and editing a text configuration file, so some comfort with the command line helps, though many ready-made themes work with only minor changes.
Can an AI assistant like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini help me set this up?
Yes — if you use a coding assistant that can run terminal commands, such as Claude Code, you can ask it to install oh-my-posh, choose a theme, and add the configuration to your shell's startup file for you.
Will this slow down my terminal?
No — oh-my-posh is built for speed and is designed to render the prompt instantly, even with many pieces of information turned on.
