This is the repo(https://github.com/soumya997/windows-terminal-setup) where i have put my terminal setup files, and mentioned how i did that. I have 6 shells in my windows terminal

  1. Powershell,
  2. PowerShell 7,
  3. cmd,
  4. wsl ubuntu,
  5. bash
  6. Azure cloud shell

Don’t really use every one of them, I usually prefer to use PowerShell, but got all of them too. I did not customize Azure shell as I don’t really use it and it takes time to load. I have discussed and shared the resources on how to make the windows terminal look like below. If you face any problem make an issue.
