It grew out of PowerShell prompt customization into a Go-based, shell-agnostic prompt system with JSON, YAML, or TOML configuration. ### Projektgeschichte The JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh repository was created on 2019-03-13. Its README says the project started as the offspring of oh-my-posh2 for PowerShell, then became a cross-platform, highly customizable and extensible prompt theme engine after four years of work on oh-my-posh. The documentation explains the design shift from script-per-theme prompt tools to a single shareable configuration file. Prompt output is assembled from blocks and segments, where segments render context such as the current directory, user information, or Git status. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Oh My Posh's adoption is visible across both source hosting and package managers. GitHub API metadata fetched on 2026-07-01 reported 22,950 stars and 2,749 forks, while Homebrew Formulae reported 61,035 installs in its 365-day analytics window. The input metadata lists Homebrew, Chocolatey, Fedora/dnf, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, and WinGet packaging. The project also benefited from the Windows Terminal and PowerShell customization wave. Official installation docs cover Windows via WinGet, manual PowerShell install script, and Chocolatey, macOS via Homebrew and MacPorts, and Linux through separate installation instructions. ### Wie es verwendet wird A user installs the oh-my-posh binary, installs a font capable of rendering prompt icons when needed, and adds shell initialization code that evaluates the prompt renderer. Themes can be selected from bundled configurations or customized through blocks, segments, colors, templates, secondary prompts, right prompts, transient prompts, and tooltips. Developers use Oh My Posh to make repository state, language runtime versions, cloud context, exit status, execution time, and other environment details visible in the prompt. The project competes in the same mental space as Powerline-style themes and Starship, while keeping its own configuration and segment ecosystem. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Oh My Posh is interesting to package nerds because it is a single CLI that must integrate with many shells and terminals, while also depending on fonts, glyph rendering, and per-platform installation conventions. Its package metadata spans Windows package managers, Unix package managers, and Go source builds. ### Zeitleiste - 2019-03-13: the JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh GitHub repository was created. - Version 4: the documentation says existing themes were added to version 4 so users could start without learning all theming internals. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew Formulae listed stable version 29.19.1 and GitHub API metadata reported 22,950 stars. ### Related projects - The README credits influences and adjacent tools including oh-my-posh2, posh-git, oh-my-zsh, powerline-go, and Starship. Its topic metadata includes PowerShell, Bash, Zsh, Fish, Cmd, Nushell, Nerd Fonts, Powerline, Git, and shell prompt tooling. ### Quellen - - - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** yellow / mittel - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - oh-my-posh: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/oh/oh-my-posh/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - oh-my-posh - 29.9.0-2.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: oh-my-posh from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | The most customisable and low-latency cross platform/shell prompt renderer | https://github.com/jandedobbeleer/oh-my-posh - MacPorts - oh-my-posh: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/oh-my-posh/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Chocolatey - oh-my-posh: normalized package name match | Chocolatey community package catalog: oh-my-posh from http://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/Packages?$filter=IsLatestVersion&$select=Id&$top=1000&$skiptoken='11','nvs' - Scoop - main/oh-my-posh: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/oh-my-posh.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
