Fancy Terminal Prompt

Settings and steps to enable fancy terminal prompt for Windows Terminal

Steps from this video.

Step 1: Install nerd fonts

Download font from nerdfonts.com. For example, JetBrainsMono Nerd Font
Extract archive
Select all font files > Right click > Install for all users

Step 2: Configure Terminals to use installed font

Configure Windows Terminal

Open Terminal settings > Defaults > Appearance
Under Text > Font face - select the installed Nerd Mono font
[Optional] Adjust Color scheme. (I selected "One Half Dark")
[Optional] Adjust Transparency. (I selected 90% and enabled Acrylic material)

Configure VsCode Terminal

Note: This does not work the best with the font I've tried: JetBrainsMono Nerd Font. Maybe it'd work better with other fonts.

Open VsCode settings
Set "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "[Name of the Nerd Font]"
Restart VsCode

Step 3: Setup Starship on Windows

Install following Instructions for Windows - (using MSI installer is the easiest)
code $PROFILE

Add this at the end:

$ENV:STARSHIP_CONFIG = "$HOME\.starship\starship.toml"
$ENV:STARSHIP_DISTRO = "者 xcad"
Invoke-Expression (&starship init powershell)

code $HOME\.starship\starship.toml
Paste contents of Startship config file and save
Restart Terminal

Step 4: Setup Startship on WSL2 Linux

Install following Instructions for Linux
vim ~/.bashrc
Add this at the end:
```
eval "$(starship init bash)"
```
source ~/.bashrc
mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/starship.toml
vim ~/.config/starship.toml
Paste contents of Startship config file and save
