From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm looking for inspiration for a custom Bash prompt^[1]^. I'd love to see yours! 😊 If possible, include both the prompt's PS1, and a screenshot/example of what it looks like.

Mine's pretty simple:

## .bashrc
export BLA=$(tput setaf 0) # Black
export RED=$(tput setaf 1) # Red
export GRE=$(tput setaf 2) # Green
export YEL=$(tput setaf 3) # Yellow
export BLU=$(tput setaf 4) # Blue
export MAG=$(tput setaf 5) # Magenta
export CYA=$(tput setaf 6) # Cyan
export WHI=$(tput setaf 7) # White

export BOL=$(tput bold)    # Bold
export ITA=$(tput sitm)    # Italic
export UL=$(tput smul)     # Underline
export NC=$(tput sgr0)     # No color & format

_branch() {
    local branch=$(__git_ps1 "%s")
    if [[ -z $branch ]]; then
        printf "${BLA}null${NC}"
    else 
        printf "${CYA}$branch"
    fi
}

PS1='.\[$(_pwd)\] \[$BLA\]〜 \[$MAG\]git\[$BLA\]:\[$(_branch)\] \n \[$NC$CYA\]\! \[$MAG\]\$ \[$NC\]'
