Debug prompt

info

This feature only works in powershell for the time being.

The debug prompt is displayed when you debug a script from the command line or Visual Studio Code. The default is [DBG]: .

You can use go text/template templates extended with sprig to enrich the text. Environment variables are available, just like the console_title_template functionality.

Configuration#

You need to extend or create a custom theme with your debug prompt override. For example:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/main/themes/schema.json",
    "blocks": [
        ...
    ],
    "debug_prompt": {
        "background": "transparent",
        "foreground": "#ffffff",
        "template": "Debugging "
    }
}

The configuration has the following properties:

foreground: string color
foreground_templates: foreground color templates
background: string color
background_templates: background color templates
template: string - a go text/template template extended with sprig utilizing the properties below - defaults to [DBG]:
