What is this

posh2k is a prompt for oh-my-posh, it works on all shells, has multiple segments with aesthetically pleasing colors.

Inspiration

Most of my workflow is based on the command line, recently I had to use a Windows system for some work and was really displeased by the CLI experience.

So, I needed a prompt that can work across shells and has support for different segments and posh2k was born.
