Ex. usage

  • copy gist curl -o https://gist.github.com/archae0pteryx/376c7e78662c89e222dc59b0d757bfdb ~/.config/random-posh-theme
  • add to ~/.zshrc like so source ~/.config/random-posh-theme
  • restart shell source ~/.zshrc

When you find one you like, you can copy the eval "$(...)" line with the path to the theme output when the shell loaded directly into your ~/.zshrc
