Default posh-git prompt

[daniporr]

Hi, I would like to get the default posh-git prompt.
Is there a property that allows to do that?

P.S. I do not want to construct if from scratch since it is already provided by posh-git.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@daniporr the exact same prompt? Because I just refactored everything so that posh-git and git are perfectly aligned. You don't really need to do anything other than enable posh-git, the default rendering is already providing all information correctly.

@JanDeDobbeleer I apologise, probably my question was not very clear.
Let me clarify it.

My previous statement:

several minimal themes I see some "boxes" (unrecognised characters) when I am in a folder containing a Git repository (i.e., when I use the git segment)

Your answer:

yes, that's because the font you use doesn't have those icons. We make use of nerd fonts, which you can also easily install using oh-my-posh font install (reload the terminal afterwards).

But, in the themes page there is written:

Themes with minimal in their names do not require a Nerd Font. Read about 🆎Fonts for more information.

And you also mentioned this in a previous comment:

@daniporr you can have a look at the minimal themes, they only use standard icons.

Therefore, the question is: why do minimal themes require Nerd Font for the git segment if they are supposed to not require it at all (i.e., to only use standard icons)?

P.S. if you prefer, I can open a different discussion/issue about this.

@daniporr good question, I think the minimal fonts were created to support Cascadia Code, which ships out of the box with Windows Terminal.

@daniporr good question, I think the minimal fonts were created to support Cascadia Code, which ships out of the box with Windows Terminal.

I think you meant "minimal themes" not "minimal fonts" (but let me know if this is not the case).

I use Cascadia Code, but those symbols are not available there (see https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code).
For instance, the branch symbol:

Have I misunderstood something?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

Aha, but that should've been removed right? I didn't create the minimal themes so I rely on contributors to get that right. A prerequisite of oh-my-posh has always been nerd fonts. If indeed Cascadia Code doesn't have the branch icon, it should have an override in the minimal configuration.

[daniporr]

Yes, I agree! 😃
(that was exactly my point)

Thank you very much for your support and the useful conversation.

A custom template to mimic the posh-git prompt

I agree that the best answer to this discussion is:
#2773 (reply in thread)

But I wanted to see how difficult it would be to faithfully mimic the posh-git prompt using the oh-my-posh properties, so I have created the following segment:

{
  "foreground": "cyan",
  "foreground_templates": [
    "{{ if and (gt .Ahead 0) (gt .Behind 0) }}yellow{{ end }}",
    "{{ if gt .Ahead 0 }}green{{ end }}",
    "{{ if gt .Behind 0 }}red{{ end }}"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "branch_icon": "",
    "commit_icon": ""
  },
  "style": "diamond",
  "leading_diamond": "<lightYellow>[</>",
  "trailing_diamond": "<lightYellow>]</>",
  "template": "{{ .HEAD }}{{if .BranchStatus }} {{ .BranchStatus }}{{ end }}{{ if .Staging.Changed }} <green>{{ .Staging.String }}</>{{ end }}{{ if and (.Working.Changed) (.Staging.Changed) }} |{{ end }}<red>{{ if .Working.Changed }} {{ .Working.String }}{{ end }}{{ if and (.Working.Changed) (not .Staging.Changed) }} !{{ end }}{{ if and (.Working.Changed) (.Staging.Changed) }} ~{{ end }}</>",
  "type": "git"
}

Following the description in the official repository as faithfully as possible:
https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git#git-status-summary-information

I hope this can be useful to someone.

Please let me know if you think it can be improved (and how you think it can be improved)
