Oh my posh on all windows terminals (vs code integrated terminal too!!)

First install the 'oh my posh' on your windows machine, by either visiting this or use the below command.

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

Install fonts

• go to https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases
• search for 'Meslo.zip' and download it
• unzip it and select all, right click and install all

NOTE - you can try any font but 'Meslo' worked well for '1_shell' theme

Install the theme - [official documentation]

• for example I'll use '1_shell' theme
• open the terminal and run the following command

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config ~/.1_shell.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

• restart the terminal

Create a profile for your terminal [official documentation]

• open the terminal
• create a new profile by running the following command

notepad $PROFILE'
or
New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force

• this will create a file, so add the below line to it, and save it

oh-my-posh init pwsh | Invoke-Expression

Modify the settings.json of the terminal

• open the terminal as an admin user
• press CTRL + SHIFT + ,
• this will open or prompt to select your favorite editor for the 'settings.json'

"profiles": 
    {
        "defaults": {
            "font":
            {
                "face": "MesloLGM NF"
            }
        }
    ...

• save it

Modify the settings of VS code integrated terminal

• go to File -> Preferences -> Settings
• search for @feature:terminal font
• add the font 'MesloLGM NF'
• save it (CTRL + S)

That's it, now you are a 10X developer 😝

I am getting an Error When I restart the Windows Powershell.
The $PROFILE is not Loading

looks like some misconfiguration that you did while setting up the $profile, check the content of it
