loving this windows dev ops WLS2 windows Terminal stuff. as a network eng who likes to run windows and game, its really cool being able to have a good Terminal and having all the linux tools with a great GUI
Great video, I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. Several hours well spent configuring and customising this across my WSL environments and standardising my terminals. Also led me to install and configure exa which I wasn't aware of but is great. A warning to anyone that uses Defender for Endpoint and Attack Surface Reduction rules; starship.exe is blocked by "Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria". I had to disable this to get it working. I'm hoping that MS implement a way to whitelist applications in the future. I also wish there was a way to install Starship without Chocolatey, I don't really want to run/use Chocolatey, but I couldn't figure out how.
great video, I've just trolled through the font sets but cannot find the curved corners you have used for the terminal prompts (in your starship.toml file, under the format section) could you advise the ascii code you used??
its nice but takes to much learning curve , also i woulden't recommand to add this into production environment in a company so the Azure AD Sync wont be effective for my home use unless i use Lab env, thanks anyway though . you look like a senior in this field , would be nice to know what you've done before becoming a youtuber
Is this the one you download from the microsoft store? im trying to customize the one that comes with windows 11, but when i try to open the settings it opens a json file in vs code and doesnt show much about customizing the app.
Thank you again for you videos Cristian! Your thoughts on oh-my-posh vs. starship? Personally I like oh-my-posh but it appears that starship-prompt offers more options. Some timestamps that were especially helpful ( I will use these later this week, I will have a new laptop to configure ) - 15:05 character maps - 16:00 distro logos
Thank you! Great feedback on the timestamps :) I haven't tried out oh-my-posh, but I wanted to until someone recommended me starship. And to me personally starship looks a bit better and was very straightforward.
@@christianlempa Now having tried both, I think that the starship is just all around better. The problem with Posh is visual corruption in windows terminal, and that it can feel quite clunky and is generally less customizable.
Ubuntu and Powershell is missing from the cmd thing and it gives this error: Could not find your default profile in your list of profiles - using the first profile. Check to make sure the "defaultProfile" matches the GUID of one of your profiles.
