If you are a fan of CMD and want the beauty of oh-my-posh but you do not want to switch to Windows PowerShell so you on the right place

The problem is that CMD directly does not support oh-my-posh on it so that's why we need to do via Clink

Let's Start 😺:

Step : 1

First of all we need to install oh-my-posh

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

this commdand will install these things

oh-my-posh.exe - Windows executable
themes - The latest Oh My Posh

after installing oh-my-posh you should restart your Terminal for the path to be set

if the path does not automatically set you can do manual by copying the bin path of oh-my-posh and adding it as new path in Edit the system environment variables

Step 2 :

Now Download & Install CLink from
Clink

after installing clink open new Terminal you see some Changes

As you know that cmd directly does not support oh-my-posh on it
so Clink 👍

Step 3 :

Now we need find the path to Clink scripts directory which we can do by running this command

clink info

after running this you will get path to a lot of Clink associated but you need to select the path script

in the case of this image C:\User\WS\AppDate\Local\Clink is the path to scripts directory yours will be something similar

Step 4 :

Opening or going to Clink scripts directory

there you need to create a file named oh-my-posh.lua

Step 5 :

Open that file and and write or copy & past the following

load(io.popen('oh-my-posh.exe --config="C:/Users/me/jandedobbeleer.omp.json" --init --shell cmd'):read("*a"))()

here you should replace this C:/Users/me/jandedobbeleer.omp.json config with your own configuration.

Step 6 :

Restart you terminal or cmd then your good to go

you might not have the best experiences with but it is something or you might do it better than me
