Oh My Posh

This is my custom theme journey for Oh My Posh, a prompt theming engine for any shell.

Moonlight.omp.json

Moonlight is my proudly crafted theme, it has a set of customizations and it is a theme that make me feel at home.

Theme timeline

My theme journey, I learned a lot in the way and I feel proud of myself with how it turned out.

If any are to your liking, feel free to check the other theme files in this repository, they are named to be in cronological order. Started with Bubbles Extra and kept changing ever since, now I feel that it is done (for now).
