Nothing against oh-my-posh (I use posh-git instead) but does this really belong here in this document. What other 3rd-party tools would want to be listed here?

Also, we already have docs about customizing the shell experience.

Yeah it feels a little odd to single out oh-my-posh here when there are quite a few projects in the same area (https://github.com/Jaykul/PowerLine, https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git, https://github.com/starship/starship).

If the goal is to have a link to send to folks, I'd recommend writing up a markdown gist with your settings and links to projects

Has the doc any links to third-party tools?

You're right. And where are the docs about customizing the shell experience? Tnx.
