Windows Terminal with WSL2 and zsh

The new Windows Terminal has a lot of new capabilities, like multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine and much more. Combined with WSL2, zsh shell and powerlevel10k brings the terminal experience to a whole new level.

Windows Terminal WSL2

Installation and configuration

  1. Install WSL2
  2. Install Windows Terminal

I used a modified version of the One Half Dark color scheme. For my complete configuration check the settings.json file.

  1. Install oh-my-zsh

Once Windows Terminal is installed run

sudo apt-get install zsh

To install oh-my-zsh run

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Restart the terminal for the changes to take effect

  1. Install Meslo Nerd Font

  2. Install and configure Powerlevel10k

Powerlevel10k is a theme for zsh with loads of customizations. To install it run

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/powerlevel10k

Edit ~/.zshrc and change ZSH_THEME to

ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"

To get the same look like in my screenshots simply copy the content of my .zshrc and .p10k.zsh files.

For a completely new configuration run the wizard

p10k configure
