Custom PowerShell prompt for Cmder on Windows

cmder-powershell-powerline-prompt

Custom prompt (and other configurations) for PowerShell in Cmder.

Aliases

Store aliases in profile.d folder. To easily manage aliases, create each alias in its own file with extension .alias.ps1.
To store a private alias that you don't want to include in the repo, create it with extensions .private.alias.ps1.

There's a special alias for quickly jumping to favorite folders: goToFolder.alias.ps1.
Favorite folders are listed in the file goToFolder.config under profile.d.
This file is a comma-separated file that lists an alias to a folder along with its target.
For example: c sends me to ~\Code.
To use this command, I can simply type g c to go to ~\Code.

To add additional folder aliases, simply add additional entries in the goToFolder.config folder.
See profile.d\goToFolder.config.example for example.

Setting up files in Cmder config folder

It's better to store the files of this repo in its own folder so that it can be updated easily without messing up other files.
However, user profiles files must be reside in %CMDER%\config folder. We can use symlinks to get around that.

Create symlink to user-profile.ps1

new-item -path c:\bin\cmder\config\user-profile.ps1 -itemtype symboliclink -value <path to repo folder>\cmder-powershell-powerline-prompt\user-profile.ps1

Create symlink to profile.d folder

new-item -path c:\bin\cmder\config\profile.d -itemtype symboliclink -value <path to repo folder>\cmder-powershell-powerline-prompt\profile.d

cmder-powershell-powerline-prompt's Issues

Screenshot settings do not match provided config

Sorry quick question/issue:

The screenshot in your readme shows the Git branch and icon in a reverse color as the path foreground text color, yet the config simply matches the git info to the path info here:

 # Write branch symbol and name
        Write-Host " " $branchSymbol " " $status.Branch " " -NoNewLine -BackgroundColor $gitBackColor -ForegroundColor $gitForeColor

Do you happen to have the differences you used to render the Git info in reverse? I can take a pretty good guess that you perhaps just reversed the values but I wanted to ask if you had the actual code just so I could confirm.

TIA!

Color issue with new Cmder

I upgraded my installation of Cmder from 1.3.4 to 1.3.11, and now the powerline prompt is all blue in the background:

I'm looking to see if I can figure out the issue, but in the meantime I thought it might be best to open this.
