Get location config file

[BillyCottrell]

Hi,

So I setup oh my posh a while ago and I want to check my config file, but I am unable to find it...
I checked if a command is available. I thought I could use "oh-my-posh config edit" to edit the config file that way but even though usage says there are 3 commands "config [export|migrate|edit]" yet available commands don't have edit...

Any ideas on how to find the file or edit the file?

Thanks in advance!

It's always stored in a variable called POSH_THEME.

Well, at least on certain Windows machines, I found that I was able to retrieve the value of POSH_THEME from %localappdata%\oh-my-posh\omp.cache (the environment variable was cached inside one of the serialized JSON payloads in that file). But YMMV.

The value then led me to the full file path where I had stored/customized my *.omp.json file.

Oh, and this was V2... the caching behavior in V3 might be different, too. 🙂

Does this POPeven have a default value? I would like to use a default/implicit name instead of having to point it to a custom location.

@ssbarnea what do you mean?

[ssbarnea]

I was hopping that creating a config file in a particular location on disk would make oh-my-posh load it, without having to pass the --config argument with specific path inside my shell init file. "aka implicit config filename".

@ssbarnea yeah, had that idea once (which is what aliae uses), but decided against it as we have multiple file formats etc
