If you like oh-my-posh, you can use oh-my-posh with nushell with few steps. It's works great with nushell. There is how to setup oh-my-posh with nushell:

  1. Install Oh My Posh and download oh-my-posh's themes following guide.
  2. Download and Install a nerd font.
  3. Set the PROMPT_COMMAND in ~/.config/nushell/config.nu, change M365Princess.omp.json to whatever you like Themes demo.
let-env PROMPT_COMMAND = { oh-my-posh --config ~/.poshthemes/M365Princess.omp.json }

Starship

  1. Follow the links above and install starship.
  2. Install nerdfonts depending on your preferences.
  3. If you want the default ticking clock with date & time on the right prompt execut this command hide PROMPT_COMMAND_RIGHT
  4. If you don't want the default indicator, you can run this command let-env PROMPT_INDICATOR = " "
  5. Set starship as your left prompt with this command let-env PROMPT_COMMAND = { starship prompt --cmd-duration $env.CMD_DURATION_MS | str trim }. Note that you may not have to use str trim in the nushell prompt if you disable starship's default newline setting with this entry in the starship.toml file add_newline = false. There have been reports that this might not play nice with nushell prompts. We're still testing.
  6. Since nushell supports a right prompt you can also play around with starship's ability to set a right prompt. Setting the right prompt in nushell is identical to setting the left prompt however you use PROMPT_COMMAND_RIGHT.
