# Windows Terminal
# WSL2
My WSL2 profile uses powerline, Cascadia Code PL font, and a transparent Tux as a background image.
# Powerline
Perform the following steps to setup powerline for WSL2.
sudo apt install golang-go
go get -u github.com/justjanne/powerline-go
Add the following to the end of ~/.bashrc
GOPATH=$HOME/go
function _update_ps1() {
PS1="$($GOPATH/bin/powerline-go -error $?)"
}
if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ] && [ -f "$GOPATH/bin/powerline-go" ]; then
PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
fi

This is my full settings.json file for Windows Terminal. I use WSL2 as my default profile, enable copy-on-select, and explicitly hide the Azure Cloud Shell profile.
