# Update

![alt text](./images/powerline_v2.png)

* Removed full path

* Improved speed for elevated mode detection and git branch

* Migrated to font "JetBrains Mono" 

* Changed folder background color to cyan

Assuming you put repo in folder ```c:\src\powerline\init.bat``` you can setup it like that:

### Windows Terminal

Find "Command Prompt" profile and change "Command line" setting to this: ```%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /k "c:\src\powerline\init.bat"```

### VSCode

. Press: Ctrl + Shift + P

. Type: Open User Settings (JSON)

. Add following lines:

```json

{

    ...

    // Only this settings matters in fact

    "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {

        "Command Prompt": {

            "path": [

                "${env:windir}\\Sysnative\\cmd.exe",

                "${env:windir}\\System32\\cmd.exe"

            ],

            "args": [

                "/K",

                "C:\\src\\powerline\\init.bat"        

            ],

        },

    },

    // But here are some bonus settings

    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono",

    "terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions": false,

    "terminal.integrated.cursorBlinking": true,

    "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "on",

    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Command Prompt",

    ...

}

```

### Font

"JetBrains Mono" - For the moment you can download latest version from here: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/

### Notes

If you still want full path, uncomment this line in ```_set.bat```

```batch

        @REM set "PARENT_FOLDER=%CD%"

```

(Uncommenting in batch files means removing ```@REM```)

# Intro (For older version)

Ever wondered why you dont have something like this in Windows cmd.exe command prompt? (While they have it on mac and linux)

![alt text](./images/power_line.png)

I had it in mind sometimes until I pushed on a wrong branch. After researching in the toilet it became obvious that it is totally doable using ```prompt``` the command:

Here is powerline in Windows Terminal Preview running cmd.exe

![alt text](./images/windows_terminal_preview_powerline.png)

And this is Sublime Text running Terminus terminal running cmd.exe

![alt text](./images/sublime_text_terminus_powerline.png)

# Prerequesites

To have it you will need:

1. Windows Terminal Preview from Microsoft Store https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal-preview/9n0dx20hk701

2. A font containing powerline symbols in my case 'Cascadia Code PL' from Microsoft github repo https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases

In case of Sublime Text:

1. Terminal module Terminus for Sublime Text https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Terminus

2. And I do not remember for sure if this package also helped for displaying colors https://packagecontrol.io/packages/ANSIescape in Terminus

# Setup

Clone repo in some local folder. Let us assume path is ```d:\path\to\powerline```

## Windows Terminal Preview Setup

Basically our goal is to start init.bat after cmd.exe is lounched. i.e. to run ```cmd.exe /k d:\\path\\to\\powerline\\init.bat``` In case of windows terminal we can configure profile like this:

```json

{

    ...

    "commandline" : "cmd.exe /k d:\\path\\to\\powerline\\init.bat",

    "fontFace" : "Cascadia Code PL",

    ....

},

```

# Sublime Text Setup

This is ```Terminus.sublime-settings``` file

```json

{

    "256color": true,

    "theme": "campbell",

    "user_theme_colors":

    {

        "background": "#0c0c0c",

        "block_caret": "white",

        "caret": "white",

        "foreground": "#cccccc",

        "selection": "#444444",

        "selection_foreground": "#ffffff"

    },

    "view_settings":

    {

        "font_face": "Cascadia Code PL",

        "font_options":

        [

            "gray_antialias",

            "subpixel_antialias",

            "gdi"

        ],

    },

    "shell_configs": [

        {

            "name": "Command Prompt",

            "cmd": ["cmd.exe", "/k", "d:\\path\\to\\powerline\\init.bat"],

            "env": {},

            "enable": true,

            "platforms": ["windows"]

        },

    ]

}

```

And this is Sublime keymaps file configured for terminus:

```json

[

    {"keys": ["ctrl+`"], "command": "toggle_terminus_panel", "args": {

             "cwd": "${file_path:${folder}}"

         }

    }

]

```
