This is a custom prompt for Cmder (the alternative console emulator for Windows). There's also a PowerShell version of this prompt.
It looks like this:
It has a blue background for the prompt.
For folders with git repos, you get yellow background for changes, and green for clean repos.
I'm using Consolas font.
The look is inspired by Powerline for Vim, and Zsh's theme agnoster.

You'll be able to use any font in Cmder, but this font contains the symbols included in the prompt.
To use another font and still show symbols correctly:
- Go to Cmder Settings > Main
- Choose Main console font to be what you prefer
- Choose Alternative font to be Anonymice Powerline
- Modify the value of Unicode ranges to add:
E0A0; E0B0;
- Save Settings
Download the .lua
file, and place it in %CMDER_ROOT%/config
folder.
Restart Cmder to load the prompt.
Alternatively, if you want to maintain link with the original repo, you can clone this repo into any folder
git clone https://github.com/AmrEldib/cmder-powerline-prompt.git git-repo-folder-name
then create a symbolic link from the %CMDER_ROOT%/config
folder to the .lua
file.
cd %CMDER_ROOT%/config
mklink /H powerline_core.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/powerline_core.lua
mklink /H powerline_prompt.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/powerline_prompt.lua
To add Git prompt, add the Git file
mklink /H powerline_git.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/powerline_git.lua
To add Configurations, create a file named _powerline_config.lua
that is a copy of the file _powerline_config.lua.example
You can modify the prompt to display either the full path or only the folder name.
To do this, modify the value of the promptValue
variable in the powerline_prompt.lua
file at this line
The value could be either:
promptValueFull
for full path likeC:\Windows\System32
promptValueFolder
for folder name only likeSystem32
promptValueFull
is the default.
