Maybe you can find some inspiration here.

[kalcifer@sh.itjust.works]

HA, that's so cursed. I love it.

[ikidd@lemmy.world]

That's a warcrime.

[hallettj@leminal.space]

Do you have anything to check whether the current directory is under /media/ or /mnt/ so that you can change the drive letter according to a deterministic assignment?

I use Starship

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

export PS1="\[\e]0;\u@\h:\w\a\]\[\e[1;34m\]\u@\h:\w\[\e[0m\]\$ "

I am a simple man.

[golden_zealot@lemmy.ml]

Prompt is pretty simple, mainly just adjusted coloring and added a timestamp.

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;36;01m\]\t \[\033[01;32m\]\u@\[\033[01;37;01m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;36m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

[deuxchevaux@lemmy.world]

Mine is simple (inspired by Kali Linux, if that's even correct)
PS1='\[\033[0;32m\]┌──[\t] (\u@\h)-[\w]\n└─$ \[\033[0m\]'

[ephera@lemmy.ml]

Same. I guess, this is the Starship thread now. My config:

I adapted it from the Gruvbox Rainbow theme.
I can post my config, if anyone wants specifically that. (It does kind of assume a light background, though.)

[rivalarrival@lemmy.today]

I didn't even know I needed to edit my prompt, but now I don't know how I have lived with it for so long.

[goun@lemmy.ml]

Are you dowloading and sourcing a file from the internet on your prompt? That sounds a bit scary!

[z3ror0ne@lemmy.ml]

I use zsh, but my old Bash prompt looks almost the same ash my Zsh prompt. Sorry, no screenshot, but here's the code:

export PS1='\[\033[01;34m\][\[\033[01;37m\] \W\[\033[01;34m\]]\$\033[01;34m\] $(git branch 2>/dev/null | grep '^*' | colrm 1 2)\n\033[01;34m└─>\033[37m '

[nore@sh.itjust.works]

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 \[$NC$CYA\]\! \[$MAG\]\$ \[$NC\]'

## .inputrc

set vi-ins-mode-string \1\e[34m\2.INS

[mbirth@lemmy.ml]

I’m using fish and the default is enough for anybody.

[fluckx@lemmy.world]

I like the timer and the error icon on a fail.
I can't recall how often I think: damn this is taking too long. I should've timed the command

[winety@lemmy.zip]

Mine's really simple; I just make the path bold and yellow:

What I like to do is change the colour depending on the machine I ssh into, e.g. make the path red on my Raspberry Pi.

[azzk1kr@feddit.nl]

Fish is a really great shell for daily use. There's so much built in, its scripting language is better (not portable though if someone else does not have fish).

[mbirth@lemmy.ml]

By now, enough people have fish that you can basically assume those scripts being “portable”. Far better than nushell or xonsh - which are both pretty advanced shells but other tools lack support for them, e.g. Midnight Commander.

[mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com]

Well, yeah, but it's git:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh

My thinking is that I trust git on my computer, so I trust downloading from their repo.

But you're right. I should revisit this and see if it's even necessary.
