Customize your PowerShell and Neovim [Microsoft]

Hey 👋
This is my first blog in the new year, and wanted to start off by wishing everyone a happy new year 2023.

The topic of this blog post accompanied by a step-by-step video guide is how to customize your PowerShell for your new computer for Windows 10/11 users.
I was asked by lots and lots of friends who watched my videos on how to create this gorgeous-looking terminal, I have a written blog for that but even it is not that complete.
So, I decided to record each step of the process, to document the important points in less than 30 minutes.

And it's not only PowerShell but more than that, and here is the list of topics covered in this video with timestamps:
