Oh My Posh is a cross-platform, highly customizable shell prompt theme engine written in Go. It renders fast, configurable prompts with 118 segments (git status, language versions, cloud context) across PowerShell, Bash, Zsh, Fish, Nu, and more.

Use cases

• customize my terminal prompt with git status and language versions
• use the same prompt theme across bash zsh and powershell
• fast low-latency shell prompt for windows terminal
• show kubernetes or cloud context in my shell prompt
• find and preview prompt themes for my shell
• set up a powerline-style prompt with nerd fonts

When to choose

• you want one prompt configuration that works across multiple shells and platforms
• you need a fast prompt that renders in milliseconds even with many segments
• you want deep customization with a template language and 118 built-in segments
• you want many prebuilt themes and a browser-based configurator

When to avoid

• you want a zero-config minimal prompt with no setup
• you prefer a prompt engine written in or configured with your shell's native language
• you need a full shell framework with plugins and completions rather than just a prompt
