[Request] Improve scoop installation experience

[Vixb1122]

1. Compress windows(eg:oh-my-posh.exe), unix(eg:oh-my-posh-wsl) binaries and themes folder as compressed file(.7z or .zip) and publish it.
2. Download or update oh-my-posh3 by the following code

    "description": "A prompt theme engine for any shell",
    "homepage": "https://ohmyposh.dev",

        "url": "https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3/blob/main/COPYING"
    },
    "architecture": {
        "64bit": {
            "url": "https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3/releases/download/v3.33.2/posh-windows-wsl-amd64.7z",
            "hash": "7cb020fde1baaa0b265c20499c582c4738407bb5aa888738b44213d726f04a47"
        }
    },
    "bin": [
        "oh-my-posh-wsl",
        "oh-my-posh.exe"
    ],
    "checkver": {
        "github": "https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3"
    },
    "post_install": [
        "$logo = @'",
        "   __  _____ _      ___  ___       ______         _      __",
        "  / / |  _  | |     |  \\/  |       | ___ \\       | |     \\ \\",
        " / /  | | | | |__   | .  . |_   _  | |_/ /__  ___| |__    \\ \\",

        "  \\_\\  \\___/|_| |_| \\_|  |_/\\__, | \\_|  \\___/|___/_| |_| /_/",

        "                            |___/",
        "'@",
        "Write-Host $logo",
        "Write-Host ''",
        "Write-Host 'Thanks for installing Oh my Posh.'",
        "Write-Host 'Have a look at https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/installation for detailed instructions for your shell.'"
    ],
    "autoupdate": {
        "architecture": {
            "64bit": {
                "url": "https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3/releases/download/v$version/posh-windows-wsl-amd64.7z",
                "hash": {
                    "url": "$url.sha256"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

3. The above code can be committed to the scoop-extras bucket later.

Tip:

1. You can preview the effect by executing run
   scoop install https://github.com/Vixb1122/oh-my-posh3/releases/download/v3.33.2/oh-my-posh3.json
2. Replace your existing prompt with follow code if you install oh-my-posh3 by scoop

[ScriptBlock]$Prompt = {
    $realLASTEXITCODE = $global:LASTEXITCODE
    if ($realLASTEXITCODE -isnot [int]) {
      $realLASTEXITCODE = 0
    }
    $startInfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
    $startInfo.FileName = "$env:SCOOP\shims\oh-my-posh.exe"
    $cleanPWD = $PWD.ProviderPath.TrimEnd("\")
    $startInfo.Arguments = "-config=""$env:SCOOP\apps\oh-my-posh3\current\themes\jandedobbeleer.json"" -error=$realLASTEXITCODE -pwd=""$cleanPWD"""
    $startInfo.Environment["TERM"] = "xterm-256color"
    $startInfo.CreateNoWindow = $true
    $startInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
    $startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
    $startInfo.UseShellExecute = $false
    if ($PWD.Provider.Name -eq 'FileSystem') {
      $startInfo.WorkingDirectory = $PWD.ProviderPath
    }
    $process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
    $process.StartInfo = $startInfo
    $process.Start() | Out-Null
    $standardOut = $process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
    $process.WaitForExit()
    $standardOut
    $global:LASTEXITCODE = $realLASTEXITCODE
    Remove-Variable realLASTEXITCODE -Confirm:$false
}
Set-Item -Path Function:prompt -Value $Prompt -Force

Alright, can do! Great to see people like this ability.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@Vixb1122 can you explain why step 1 is an improvement (maybe faster, but also needs some work in the release process). And I tried to figure out what checkver does but that's not entirely clear. I suppose it takes that path and looks for the most up-to-date version number and uses that in the autoupdate that has $version set. Did you validate that as well or do you have hands on experience with this elsewhere?

[Vixb1122]

@JanDeDobbeleer
After creating 'oh-my-posh3.json' in the bucket folder, the bucket maintainer can check and update versions from all software by periodically running 'checkver.ps1 * -u' command.
autoupdate and checkver block must be added for the command to take effect.
Because autoupdate only supports updating one file, all files need to be compressed into one file.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

Thanks! This makes everything a lot clearer now. I'll get on it 👍🏻

@JanDeDobbeleer
You can install this program without support for WSL by the following code. In this way, it is not more work in the release process.

I did not forget about this. I spent A LOT of time trying to get the Windows execution time under control, which got merged yesterday. This is next on my list.

@JanDeDobbeleer
The "posh-windows-wsl-amd64.7z.sha256" file is missing from the release file.
Please add argument -NoNewLine to $fileHash.Hash | Out-File -Encoding 'UTF8' posh-windows-wsl-amd64.7z.sha256 to make the following text work.
https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3/blob/a73641d2d7dc36089c65d6d53b77c4e105afbad4/packages/scoop/oh-my-posh.json#L30-L32

[JanDeDobbeleer]

Aaaah. Ok. Got it. Will do.
