How to remove the "username@host" from powershell prompt?

I am using Windows Terminal(Preview) with shells like 1.PowerShell, 2.WSL in my Windows 10 machine. I installed the latest version of oh-my-posh and posh-git to customize the terminal. My current theme is Agnoster which gives a colorful custom prompt. But I want to get rid of the "username@host" from my prompt.

Eg:

Current => username@host D:\folder-name>

Needed => D:\folder-name>

I tried few things with $GitPromptSettings variable and also in GitPrompt.ps1 file which is inside the posh-git folder but with no use.

Also, since i have oh-my-posh and posh-git, does both have prompt customization properties or it is only from posh-git?

Any help is appreciated.

In Oh My Posh 3, the method for hiding the username@host part has changed because the whole theme configuration has changed.

The username@host portion of the powerline comes from the "session" segment. The configuration options for session can be found here: https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/session

Interesting options are:

  • display_user: boolean - display the user name or not - defaults to true
  • display_host: boolean - display the host name or not - defaults to true
  • default_user_name: string - name of the default user - defaults to empty
  • display_default: boolean - display the segment or not when the user matches default_user_name - defaults to true

And the note on environment variables:

POSH_SESSION_DEFAULT_USER - used to override the hardcoded default_user_name property

Solution

Based on this, I made the following changes:

  1. For the theme, I added the display_default: false property to the "session" segment: 
    {
  "type": "session",
  // ....
  "properties": {
    "display_default": false
  }
}```
  2. In my powershell profile, I set the new environment variable to my own username: $env:POSH_SESSION_DEFAULT_USER = [System.Environment]::UserName

This makes the user@host part of the prompt disappear as long as I'm using my default username.

You have to set $DefaultUser before importing modules.

Example:

$global:DefaultUser = [System.Environment]::UserName
Import-Module posh-git 
Import-Module oh-my-posh
Set-Theme Paradox

You may check {theme's name}.psm1 in the Themes/ directory to understand how it works. The key is the following code.

e.g. Paradox.psm1

$user = $sl.CurrentUser
....
if (Test-NotDefaultUser($user)) {

        $prompt += Write-Prompt -Object "$user@$computer " -ForegroundColor $sl.Colors.SessionInfoForegroundColor -BackgroundColor $sl.Colors.SessionInfoBackgroundColor

}

if $DefaultUser is same to $user or is different $null, your powershell does not show $user@$computer.
