Oh My Posh

It is recommended to have some kind of a Nerd Font installed, otherwise the prompt will not look good 😟.

Right now I use Delugia which is a patched version of Cascadia Code with Nerd Fonts included. I use this instead of the original version of Cascadia Code by Nerd Fonts named "Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font" because I had some display issues with it.

Cascadia Code is a open source monospaced font from Microsoft.

My favorite Nerd Font which I use almost everywhere is "Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font" which is based on the open source monospaced font "Cascadia Code" from Microsoft.
