PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2026

You’ve seen it before - in a Summit session, a YouTube video, or from that one trendy coworker... A colorful, sleek PowerShell prompt that looks nothing like yours. It’s not just for show! These prompts can make your shell more functional, informative, and fun to use.In this session, we’ll take you from plain to powerful (and pretty) by showing you how to customize your PowerShell profile inclusive of the prompt, step by step. You’ll learn:- What a PowerShell profile is (and why it matters before we modify it).- How to start customizing your PowerShell profile so you can personalize your prompt and experience.- When and why to roll your own vs. use tools like oh-my-posh for faster customization.- How to make your prompt beautiful and functional while balancing style with utility.- How to make your profile portable. Use your profile at work, use it at home, how to easily get that consistent experience on all your workstations.This session was born from a Summit 2025 hallway conversation with folks who admired cool prompts but didn't know where to begin. If that sounds like you, this is your chance to finally build a PowerShell prompt you'll love using every day.
