oh-my-posh: Git branch displayed 2 times and Python environment missing

Prerequisites

I have read and understand the CONTRIBUTING guide
I looked for duplicate issues before submitting this one

Description

Following an upgrade from oh-my-posh 2 to oh-my-posh-3, the theme application seems to have two issues:

The conda environment of my user is not displayed by default (the base environment)
When I move to a git directory, the branch name is displayed as a prefix to the prompt and in the prompt
If I activate a virtual environment venv, it is also displayed as a prefix

Environment

Oh my Posh version: v3
Theme: aliens
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.19042 Build 19042
Shell: Powershell
Terminal: Windows Terminal + VSCode

Steps to Reproduce

Follow-up of the documentation for the update
Set a theme

PS > Set-PoshPrompt -Theme aliens

Export theme into PS profile

PS > Export-PoshTheme -FilePath ~/.oh-my-posh.omp.json

Get the PS profile

PS > $PROFILE
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

Edit the profile file :

Import-Module posh-git
Import-Module oh-my-posh
Set-PoshPrompt -Theme  ~/.oh-my-posh.omp.json

Restart computer and reload Powershell
Move to a Python Git repository with virtualenv

Expected behavior:

Is it possible :

to have only once the git branch in the prompt?
to have only once the Python environment in the prompt ?
to have the conda base environment displayed by default ?
not to have the error on the Python environment in the prompt ?

Actual behavior:

Currently this is not possible 😃

@Kin-Zhang in that case, move the python segment before the text segment. They are rendered based on their order in the config so you can move them where yo’d like to see them. You can always share the config here and I’ll gladly adjust it.

@PapyPev that’s because the default display_mode is files and you’re looking for context. That way you’ll always see the env if it’s present. See the Python segment for more info.

Excellent! I hadn’t seen this option, perfect, thank you very much!!!

Oh! Thanks! You are so kind since now I know how simple my question is. 😂 Thank you very much, I set the theme I want now:

Thanks again for your detailed reply!❤️🌹

@Kin-Zhang I’ll walk you through it. When we say settings, we mean the oh-my-posh settings. The themes are actually pre-packaged settings files, so if you’re using the Powershell module and Set-PoshPrompt -Theme xxx, you’re currently a prepared config.

You need to export that one (the one you like) to a new local config, so you can extend it. Using Powershell that’s Export-PoshTheme which has the ability to copy the theme to your clipboard (default), or specify a path to store the config in, for example Export-PoshTheme -FilePath ~/.mytheme.omp.json.

Supposing we do the latter, open the ~/.mytheme.omp.json file and add this segment in the block you like (read the concept page for reference). Once you’re done editing, you can alter your $PROFILE and set your custom theme using Set-PoshPrompt -Theme ~/.mytheme.omp.json.

Could you update to the latest version of posh-git(1.0.0)? You can run an update-module -verbose and reopen the terminal
