# 1. Making Prompts more Posh # `Prompt` is a PowerShell function that is called just before PowerShell asks for input. # It outputs the text that goes before a prompt. # Modifying the PowerShell prompt can be incredibly useful. # This is why Posh makes modifying the prompt easy. #2. Replacing parts of the prompt # We can see information about the current prompt by running: $Posh.Prompt # Let's use Get-Member to see what we can do: $Posh.Prompt | Get-Member # Now let's modify the prompt to replace the username with astericks $Posh.Prompt.Replace( $(if ($env:User) { $env:User } else { $env:USERNAME }), '*****' ) #.ShowPrompt # Now let's replace the start of the prompt. # We can provide a string, scriptblock, or emoji number. $Posh.Prompt.Replace("PS ", 0x2AA1) # Looks nice. Let's replace the end of the prompt. $Posh.Prompt.Replace(">", 0x2AA2) # For extra fun, let's add some content to the end of the prompt $Posh.Prompt.Append({(Get-Date).ToShortTimeString()}) # Hmm, that isn't quite distintive enough. Let's undo that step. $Posh.Prompt.Pop() # Now let's add a "better" end to the prompt: $Posh.Prompt.Append({ "[$((Get-Date).ToShortTimeString())]" }) # Posh provides the fundamental building blocks to modify your prompt. # May it make your shell more sleek. |
