# Deadlydog Oh My Posh Theme
## 💬 Description
This is a custom theme for [Oh My Posh](https://ohmyposh.dev), called `deadlydog`.
## 🖼 Screenshot and features
This is an example what the command prompt looks like with this theme:
The top line's left block displays:
- The logged in user and the computer name.
- Handy if you run as different users or SSH into different servers.
- The full current directory path.
- Easy to select and copy the path, and can `Ctrl`+`Click` it to open in File Explorer.
- If in a Git repository, shows the current Git branch and status.
- If an error occurred on the previous command, a red `!` is shown (not shown in screenshot).
- Allows you to easily see if the previous executable returned a non-zero exit code.
The top line's right block displays:
- How long the previous command took to run.
- Great for when you start a long-running operation and walk away from your PC.
- The current time that the information was displayed.
The next line will show different information depending on the context:
- If logged into the Az CLI, shows the current Azure subscription.
- If logged into Kubernetes, shows the current k8s context and namespace.
Lastly, the prompt character is shown on the final line to accept user input.
## ❓ Why this exists
I wasn't quite happy with [the out-of-the-box themes](https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/themes), so I created this one.
## 🚀 Quick start
To use this theme:
1. [Install Oh My Posh](https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/installation/windows) if you haven't already.
1. On Windows you can install it via `winget` with the following command:
```powershell
winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh
```
1. Download and unzip [the latest release](https://github.com/deadlydog/Oh-My-Posh.DeadlydogTheme/releases) of the `deadlydog.omp.json` theme file.
1. Place the `deadlydog.omp.json` file somewhere where it can permanently live on your computer.
A good place is the default Posh Themes Path, which you can find by running `$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH` in PowerShell.
e.g. C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\
1. [Set the theme in Oh My Posh](https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/installation/customize).
- The command will vary depending on which shell you are in.
- You may need to change the file path to where you saved the `deadlydog.omp.json` file on your computer.
- In PowerShell it would look something like:
```powershell
oh-my-posh init pwsh --config $env:POSH_THEMES_PATH/deadlydog.omp.json | Invoke-Expression
```
- You will want to add the above line to your prompts startup file so it runs every time you open a new terminal window.
- For PowerShell, you can use the `$PROFILE` variable to find your startup file.
## 🕵️♀️ Troubleshooting
If some characters do not show up properly, or you get errors like the following, it likely means that your terminal is not using a font that supports the unicode characters used in this theme:
> invalid char escape
>
> literal not terminated
>
> invalid char literal
I recommend using the `CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font` font, which can be [downloaded from here](https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads).
Once you have downloaded and installed the font, you will need to [update your terminal to use it](https://blog.danskingdom.com/Update-your-terminal-prompt-and-font-in-Windows-Terminal-and-VS-Code-and-Visual-Studio/).
