  • File Set-Prompt.ps1 — part of check-in [df153333ed] at 2018-06-10 13:22:03 on branch trunk — My command prompt, as always. I leave this in a separate script file and invoke it from my profile. That way I can RE-invoke it to reset my prompt if I have to mess with it for some reason. (user: Joel Bennett size: 6565)

# I recently embedded my persistent history functionality directly into this prompt function (I used to have that in a per-host profile, as a wrapper around this prompt, but I can’t remember why, and I didn’t like loosing it when I had to re-invoke this script).
#
#.Synopsis
#  Sets my favorite prompt function
#.Notes
#  I put the id in my prompt because it's very, very useful.
#
#  Invoke-History and my Expand-Alias and Get-PerformanceHistory all take command history IDs
#  Also, you can tab-complete with "#<id>[Tab]" so .
#  For example, the following commands:
#  r 4
#  ## r is an alias for invoke-history, so this reruns your 4th command
#
#  #6[Tab]
#  ## will tab-complete whatever you typed in your 6th command (now you can edit it)
#
#  Expand-Alias -History 6,8,10 > MyScript.ps1
#  ## generates a script from those history items
#
#  GPH -id 6, 8
#  ## compares the performance of those two commands ...
#

# Some stuff goes OUTSIDE the prompt function because it doesn't need re-evaluation

# I set the title in my prompt every time, because I want the current PATH location there,
# rather than in my prompt where it takes up too much space.

# But I want other stuff too. I  calculate an initial prefix for the window title
# The title will show the PowerShell version, user, current path, and whether it's elevated or not
# E.g.:"PoSh3 Jaykul@HuddledMasses (ADMIN) - C:\Your\Path\Here (FileSystem)"
