• To customize segments, copy the theme JSON and edit it:

  cp "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH\jandedobbeleer.omp.json" "$HOME\my-theme.omp.json"
  notepad "$HOME\my-theme.omp.json"
  

• Then point your profile to your custom theme:

  oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "$HOME\my-theme.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression
