Customize the Windows Terminal with WSL2, Cascadia Code, Powerline, Nerd Fonts, Oh My Posh and more!

Customize the new Windows Terminal with a Cascadia Code, Powerline, Nerd Fonts, Oh My Posh and more! We'll take the new Cascadia Code, run Ubuntu on Windows 10 under WSL2, install the Nerd Fonts font forge, and modify the new font to include all new glyphs

Thanks for all the WSL and Windows Terminal content Scott. I dig it when my computer geek life is made that much easier when its been Hanselman-ised.

Incredible! Thanks for taking the time!

I needed this (after the messing setup I made with powerline tools and Git Bash on Windows)

[sbrugby]

that seems like it was a remarkable amount of effort for something that should be a simple task. I appreciate Scott making lemonade from lemons though and the final result looks great.

Awesome, thanks for the detailed explanation. I have got me the new terminal

[drakeytik]

Thank you for this helpful video I like my terminal now better than before.

[gokul]

spend an entire morning figuring why my tmux won't render some fonts properly. Thank you so much for making this 🙆‍♂️

Hi Scott. Thanks for the awesome video. Would you mind sharing your new profile? The previous one on your blog was kinda old. Thanks.

Hi Scott, thank you for the video. I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows Terminal WSL 2 with zsh. But I find that the shell does not extend edge to edge of the Windows Terminal. I find that there are spaces in the right hand side, bottom of screen the windows terminal are especially viable. It would be a great help if you could help me understanding how to resolve this. Is there something I am missing

[stevemulholland]

When you do these types of videos, do you have a script or do you just wing it?

[adrianthomas]

How do you change the font for Ubuntu in wsl?

[shnam]

Awesome! How can we have command auto suggestion on windows?

[ericguzmanc]

You can download the patched version front site.. It didn't work for me with the script from ubuntu

[TheElrylas]

How do you change Powershell background to black like you have?

[anilkrajamoni]

if you doubt mind would you share the your windows terminal json settings

[shouvikmandal]

I am facing a little problem with installing xampp web server on windows terminal with WSL2, it won't install and freezes the terminal

[stevecogswell]

Hi Scott! I got everything setup; however, I have to run Set-Prompt every time I open Windows Terminal. What did I do wrong? Thanks!!

[TheElrylas]

I have a question, you have to use a Windows version of Git for PowerShell right? So it's mean that you're using wsl for coding and then you use powershell to do your git stuff or am I completly wrong? I am not a native english so I apologize if I'm not clear. Thks in advance !
