PowerShell cold-start: ~1.9s init parse for ~12ms render (v29.14.0)

What happened?

In PowerShell, oh-my-posh init pwsh | Invoke-Expression adds ~1.9 seconds to every cold shell start on a fast modern machine, even though the prompt itself renders in ~12 ms. The cost is entirely in PowerShell parsing and executing the generated init.<hash>.ps1 (562 lines / 25 KB): not in the exe spawn, and not in oh-my-posh's prompt rendering.

I'm filing this as a fresh data point because the closest prior report (#6310) was closed without an actionable resolutio

Fix zsh init template to avoid fatal error under set -u (use safe parameter checks)

Title: Fix zsh init template to avoid fatal error under set -u (use safe parameter checks)

Summary:

When oh-my-posh generates zsh init scripts (e.g. init.*.zsh) the generated prompt hook contains a conditional like:

if [ $_omp_start_time ]
then
  ...
fi

This test expands $_omp_start_time directly. If a shell or a wrapper script uses set -u (nounset), expanding an unset parameter is fatal and causes zsh: : parameter not set errors when the shell runs the prompt hook.

Change directory using fish alt-left and alt-right does not update prompt path

Code of Conduct

  • I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

What happened?

I use the fish Alt+← and Alt+→ commands to navigate my directory history -- these are bound to the prevd and nextd commands.

However, when using Alt+← and Alt+→ oh-my-posh prompt does not update. When using the prevd and nextd commands, the prompt does update. If I type in pwd I can see that the directory has in fact cha

Website dependencies do not include react-router-dom for pnpm

Code of Conduct

  • I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

What happened?

When building the docs website with pnpm install and then running with pnpm start (though that script name should probably be changed to dev), the website was unable to load citing a lack of "react-router-dom".

I believe this is due to react-router-dom not being explicitly added in package.json as checking the repo's history it appears in the package-lock.json consistently but not the

I bisected the issue down to commit a200ee73ff0c145. With this commit generating the prompt takes seconds, it does not happen on Darwin though with the same shell.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or an API adjustment,  I'll mention it in the bug category first~🙏
I can guarantee that there is no problem in v23+ < v24, because I upgraded to the latest version in v23.20.3. And before I raised this question, I also searched for related issues, but none of them were successfully resolved. Maybe it's because of the important changes in the latest version that no one h
