Changing your console window title
In this blog post, Francisco Nabas explains how to change the console window title in PowerShell. Nabas explores two methods for accomplishing this task: using the $Host automatic variable or using virtual terminal sequences.
The $Host automatic variable represents the current host application for PowerShell and allows for changing the window title. On the other hand, virtual terminal sequences are control character sequences that can control various aspects of the console when written to the output stream. These sequences are intercepted and executed by the console host.
Nabas provides examples and code snippets for both methods. He also mentions that virtual terminal sequences are preferred because they follow a well-defined standard and are fully documented.
In conclusion, PowerShell offers multiple ways to achieve the goal of changing the console window title, providing flexibility for developers.
