(Anaconda Environment Status + Only Current Directory + Entire Git Status + Tabs)

Background:

I am a ML developer and my current professional as well as my personal development setup is on Windows10 and Windows11. As a developer, terminal is an essential part of my daily life where I use the below listed things:

  • Windows Powershell on the new Windows Terminal

  • Anaconda Python

  • Git

  • Docker

  • Vim + terminal based file processing and searching

  • etc...etc....etc

Need:

  • If I am inside a deep nested file-path, the terminal readability reduces

  • No Git status

  • Coolness factor is reduced

Steps:

  1. Install New Windows Terminal:

    • Easiest way to install is Microsoft Store or Windows Package Manager (I prefer this)

    • Winget Command:

    • winget install --id=Microsoft.WindowsTerminal  -e

  2. Install Git:

    • Install from the website or my preferred way is: Winget (Windows package manager)

    • Winget Command:

    • winget install --id=Git.Git  -e

  3. Install your needed files:

    • Mine were: Docker, Anaconda (for Tensorflow, Pytorch, Numpy, Pandas, infinite etc)

    • After installing Anaconda package manager, I linked it to powershell (I had to waste a lot of time in this but it happened finally)

  4. Install Posh-Git and enable it in the Powershell Profile:

    • If you don't have Powershell Profile, follow below:

  5. Creation of Powershell Profile:

    • if (!(Test-Path -Path $PROFILE)) {
  New-Item -ItemType File -Path $PROFILE -Force
}

  6. Edit the Profile:

    • notepad $PROFILE

    • Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 Put the below text within that file:

    • Import-Module posh-git

Function Prompt {"$( ( get-item $pwd ).Name)/$(Write-VcsStatus)> "}

WE ARE DONE.

This will also work for standalone Powershell interface.
