How do I hide file paths in VS Code's Terminal?

1

Hello guys, programming newbie here.

I just got myself VSCode. While watching Mosh’s Python class, I’ve noticed that whenever he runs his codes, his terminal window looks so clean. unlike the stock VSCode terminal window. How do I achieve that?

I’m trying to get rid of the highlighted text below “Hello World”.

Thanks

There are three pieces to what Mosh does for his terminal. First, he installed zsh. zsh is an alternative to bash. It’s a bit of a process, but it’s worth the trouble.

  1. https://ohmyz.sh/ - Download and install zsh
  2. https://ohmyz.sh/ - same site - Download and install oh my zsh - A plug-in for zsh
  3. GitHub - Powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k: Powerlevel9k was a tool for building a beautiful and highly functional CLI, customized for you. P9k had a substantial impact on CLI UX, and its legacy is now continued by P10k. - theme for oh my zsh
  4. GitHub - Powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k: Powerlevel9k was a tool for building a beautiful and highly functional CLI, customized for you. P9k had a substantial impact on CLI UX, and its legacy is now continued by P10k. - install the required fonts

Overview -
ZSH is a nice replacement shell and is very popular.
OhMyZsh is a customization plug-in
Powerlevel9k is a nice theme, but is not bundled so you have to install it
Plus there are special fonts that allow Powerlevel9k show the icons you see in Mosh’s prompt. Those little icons in the prompt are related to github status for the current directory.

You can see my prompt – in the blue box is folder info. In the green box is github information. It’s green because there are no uncommitted files in that file. Etc.
