Auto-upgrade instructions need direction #5452

Code of Conduct

What would you like to see changed?

In CLI, when prompted to upgrade, I now see:

To enable automated upgrades, set 'auto_upgrade' to 'true' in your configuration.

Great! However, this falsely assumes everyone knows where "your configuration" is. They probably opened CLI to do a non-OMP task, so the average person doesn't want to look deeper into it and just ignores it (like me).

Simply provide the path to the configuration.

To enable automated upgrades, set 'auto_upgrade' to 'true' in your configuration at '{path}'.

@dylanh724 that's not necessarily a PATH you should edit depending on how you configured oh-my-posh. If you're asking this question, it's probably better to read the documentation as I assume you don't have a custom configuration.

I'll comment how I did it, as it might help you, or anyone who's looking. I'm using the atomic.omp.json theme, located in C:\Users\{WINDOWS_USER}\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\atomic.omp.json (I'm using a Windows 10 desktop, if that matters). I opened that JSON file, and I edited it, adding the "auto_upgrade": true, line, just below the "$schema" property. So if you're using one of the themes, whichever it is, open its JSON file and add that line.

As @JanDeDobbeleer said, I read the documentation, but from there, I tried to put the pieces together myself. Based on my experience with docs, they don't always tell you specifically what you need to do. 😛 https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/configuration/general

@epikkoder never edit a theme file directly. This is indicated in the docs as well, you need to create a local copy.

Ah, well, I didn't see that part. 😅

Edit: Ah yes, here we go. https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/installation/customize#adjust-a-theme Recently though, my edits are retained even when Oh My Posh updates. So I guess I should be good for now?

JanDeDobbeleer commented 3 weeks ago

@epikkoder I wouldn't make a bet on that. The themes can be overridden at any time, so best to take a local copy.

epikkoder commented 3 weeks ago

Yeah. I have a copy of it in a secret gist, but I'll make a local copy and use that.
