Cmder-powerline-prompt

This is a custom prompt for Cmder (the alternative console emulator for Windows).

Changes of this Fork:

Support for virtual environments
Minor changes on color configs

Installing and Configuring (for Windows Terminal)

Download the .lua file, and place it in %CMDER_ROOT%/config folder.
Open the Windows Terminal
Go to Settings (Ctrl+,)
Open the Settings as JSON file (Open JSON File button on the bottom-left)
Add the following JSON entry under "profiles:list" (replace C:\\tools\\cmdermini with %CMDER_ROOT% folder):

{
    "commandline": "cmd /k C:\\tools\\cmdermini\\vendor\\init.bat",
    "icon": "C:\\tools\\cmdermini\\icons\\cmder_green.ico",
    "name": "Cmder",
    "hidden": false,
},

Save the settings.json file and get back to Windows Terminal
On the Startup section, set Cmder as the default profile (optional)

Changing the Font

A font with ligatures is required so special symbols are shown correctly. The following fonts from Nerd Fonts were tested:

FiraCode
GeistMono
Ubuntu Mono

After installing the selected font (just extract the ZIP and righ-click on the .ttf files), go to Windows Terminal settings, select the Cmder profile, scroll to the Appearance and pick the font on the Font Face option.

Customization

You can modify the prompt to display either the full path or only the folder name.
To do this, modify the value of the promptValue variable in the powerline_prompt.lua file at this line
The value could be either:

promptValueFull for full path like C:\Windows\System32
promptValueFolder for folder name only like System32

promptValueFull is the default.
