   • Enabling PowerShell support for Git and Azure.

2. setup.ps1 - A setup script to install necessary modules and fonts for the Powershell profile. It performs the following actions:

   • Downloads and installs a Nerd Font (CascadiaCode) for enhanced terminal aesthetics.

   • Copying PsProfileConfig.ps1 to the user's Documents directory.
   • Redirecting the system profile script to source the PsProfileConfig.ps1 script.
   • Copying custom oh-my-posh themes to the appropriate directory.
   • Re-executing the profile script to apply configurations immediately.

Installation and Setup

To use these scripts, clone this repository to your local machine. Run the setup.ps1 script first to install all necessary modules and the Nerd Font. This script will automatically call UpdateProfile.ps1, which sets up the PowerShell profile with the configurations defined in PsProfileConfig.ps1.

Enabling Glyphs

To enable glyphs (the little icons in text) in any terminal or editor, a "Nerd font" must be configured in the settings for that terminal or editor. This includes:

• Windows Terminal
• VSCode Terminal
• VSCode Editor

Customization

You can customize your PowerShell environment by modifying the PsProfileConfig.ps1 script. This script can be edited to change the shell theme, prompt behavior, and other settings as per your preference.
