windows terminal(oh my posh) not showing git status after whatever I have tried

Question

description

1. I import posh-git but don't use its prompt style. and my windows terminal $PROFILE like:

   • Import-Module posh-git
     Import-Module oh-my-posh
     Set-PoshPrompt -Theme default
     #$env:POSH_GIT_ENABLED = $true
     

2. I have read the similar question [Windows Terminal + oh-my-posh not showing git status and made the theme file change, but it also doesn't work.

   • the "git" segment of the theme file like:

         {
               "type": "git",
               "background": "p:green",
               "background_templates": [
                 "{{ if or (.Working.Changed) (.Staging.Changed) }}p:yellow{{ end }}",
                 "{{ if and (gt .Ahead 0) (gt .Behind 0) }}p:red{{ end }}",
                 "{{ if gt .Ahead 0 }}#49416D{{ end }}",
                 "{{ if gt .Behind 0 }}#7A306C{{ end }}"
               ],
               "foreground": "p:black",
               "foreground_templates": [
                 "{{ if or (.Working.Changed) (.Staging.Changed) }}p:black{{ end }}",
                 "{{ if and (gt .Ahead 0) (gt .Behind 0) }}p:white{{ end }}",
                 "{{ if gt .Ahead 0 }}p:white{{ end }}"
               ],
               "powerline_symbol": "\ue0b0",
               "properties": {
                 "display_status": true,
                 "display_stash_count": true,
                 "display_upstream_icon": true,
                 "branch_max_length": 25,
                 "fetch_status": true,
                 "fetch_upstream_icon": true,
                 "github_icon": "\uf7a3"
               },
               "style": "powerline",
               "template": " {{ if .UpstreamURL }}{{ url .UpstreamIcon .UpstreamURL }} {{ end }}{{ .HEAD }}{{ .BranchStatus }}{{ if .Working.Changed }} \uf044 {{ .Working.String }}{{ end }}{{ if .Staging.Changed }} \uf046 {{ .Staging.String }}{{ end }} "
         },
     

     all the display properties("display_status" ...) are true.

Question

I just want to know whether oh-my-posh has deprecated the git status display ???

and I have read the oh-my-posh Blog page, there is no changes on git status display

Answer 1

1. oh-my-posh has deprecated their PowerShell module and is asking users to migrate. So as a first step, run the migration steps outlined in the docs and replace Import-Module oh-my-posh as well as Set-PoshPrompt -Theme default with, for example,

   oh-my-posh init pwsh --config ~/.custom.omp.json | Invoke-Expression
   

2. Uncomment

   #$env:POSH_GIT_ENABLED = $true
   

   so posh-git is enabled. The posh-git prompt is disabled by default:

   PowerShell offers support for the posh-git module for autocompletion, but it is disabled by default. To enable this, set $env:POSH_GIT_ENABLED = $true in your $PROFILE.

3. In the posh-git README, it says:

   posh-git will not replace the prompt function if it has detected that you have your own, customized prompt function.

   Good, so this is what we're after: using oh-my-posh over the posh-git prompt. So how do we get the latter into the former?

4. In your oh-my-posh.omp.json configuration file, add a segment at a position of your choice:

   {
     "type": "poshgit",
     "style": "powerline",
     "powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
     "foreground": "#ffffff",
     "background": "#0077c2"
   }
   

   The relevant difference here is that this is of type poshgit, not of type git anymore (the latter being the oh-my-posh "builtin" as far as I see).

This works for me™, as a first approximation. You'll need to add custom foreground_template magic etc. to further customize it, but these settings should allow the posh-git prompt to at least display from within your oh-my-posh one.
