Pretty PowerShell that looks good and functions almost as good as Linux terminal
A PowerShell profile that installs Oh My Posh, a Nerd Font, and a set of aliases and functions to make the Windows terminal feel more like a modern shell. It's aimed at Windows developers who spend time in PowerShell and are tired of the default experience.
The one-liner installer handles the tedious parts — Oh My Posh, Nerd Font download, module installs — that most people would copy-paste from five different blog posts. The project has clear contributor infrastructure (templates, code of conduct, security policy) for a dotfiles repo, which keeps forks and PRs manageable. It's actively maintained with a push as recent as June 2026, so it tracks upstream Oh My Posh changes. The single-file profile structure means you can read the whole thing and understand exactly what it does to your shell.
The install script is `irm | iex` — pipe to execute from a raw GitHub URL with no checksum or signature verification. That's a habit the project should break even if the author is trustworthy today. There's no mechanism to update the profile after install, so you're effectively frozen at the version you installed unless you manually re-run setup. The repo description says 'almost as good as Linux terminal', which sets expectations it can't meet — PowerShell cmdlet verbosity and the Windows path model are not cosmetic problems that a prompt theme fixes. It also pulls in Oh My Posh as a hard dependency, so if that project changes its config format or breaks, this breaks with no fallback.
