Description

I have an entry level question.
I have activated a theme and it's great but after I close the terminal and reopen it, it's gone and I have to reactivate the theme, how can I my config persistent.
I already read the docs but couldn't find anything related.

Environment

• Oh My Posh version:
• Theme: jandedobbeleer
• Operating System: Win10 x64
• Shell: Powershell 7.1.3
• Terminal: Windows Terminal

@saostad when using Powershell, you can add those lines to your $PROFILE. Powershell loads that file a startup, so adding the following lines there and saving the file will load it again when restarting Powershell.

Import-Module oh-my-posh
Set-PoshPrompt -Theme jandedobbeleer

While this is mentioned in the docs, I understand this can be confusing when you're not familiar with Powershell. You can read up on profiles here.

I follow instruction show docs page in terminal :

and then two question happen:

1 why this docs page recommend Delete the import of the PowerShell module in your $PROFILE?

2 after finishing the Migration steps in docs page , terminal can't read "import oh-my-posh" written in $PROFILE.

like that:

Import-Module : The specified module 'oh-my-posh' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
