Weird line appered when i start my terminal

[giansluca]

Hi, I'm getting new messy string when i launch my terminal (Windows terminal). I haven't seen it before, It suddenly appeared, and now is there every time i open the terminal. If i press enter i got back my normal propmt, as shown in the picture attached.

Theme is robbyrussel. If i disable "Set-Theme" in my profile, the string disapperas.

Same here. In my case it looks like:

I'm running PowerShell 7.1.0. I also have Cygwin installed (in case it matters, cause some utilities like git may (or may not) be called from Cygwin). I tried deleting everything in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\PowerShell and then

Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser
Set-Prompt

as suggested in README.md here. No effect.

The next line (once I press enter) looks OK.

---

UPD: Tried updating to the latest version: Update-Module -Name oh-my-posh -AllowPrerelease -Scope CurrentUser - no effect.

now i realized, if i enter in a git folder i get a total mess

I've just solved the problem for myself - I ran C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables.

Then I put X:\*Git for Windows* above X:\*Cygwin* in PATH environment variable (so Git for Windows goes first).

Now everything seems to be working.

All you need to do is import git's bin folder and you should have all you need. That's how I did it back in my Windows days. I would avoid using Cygwin altogether. Just use the WSL if you need a proper working unix environment.
