Share your Bash prompts!

[thefadingone@feddit.org]

I'm mainly using zsh but I have a backup bash prompt that closely mirrors it.

retval() {
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                printf ""
        else
                printf "\001\e[31m\002($?)\001\e[0m\002"
        fi
}

gitbranch() {
        if type git 2> /dev/null 1> /dev/null && git rev-parse 2> /dev/null 1> /dev/null ; then
                MODIFIED=""
                if [[ -n $(git status --short) ]]; then
                        MODIFIED=" M"
                fi
                BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
                SHORTREF=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
                printf "\001\e[31m\002%s\001\e[0m\002(%s)\001\e[31m\002%s\001\e[0m\002" $BRANCH $SHORTREF $MODIFIED
        else
                echo -n ""
        fi
}

export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=3

PS1='$(retval)[\001\e[1;95m\002\u\001\e[0m\002@\h : \w $(gitbranch)] \$ '
PS2='> '

Am I a loser if I stick to POSIX?

PS1='\[\e[1m\][\[\e[92m\]\u\[\e[0m\]@\[\e[96;1;3m\]\h\[\e[0;1m\]]\[\e[0m\] \[\e[1m\][\[\e[38;5;226m\]\w\[\e[39m\]]\[\e[0m\] \[\e[97;1m\]~\[\e[92;5m\]\$\[\e[0m\] '

Note: The "$" prompt flashes like a typical cursor.

Mine shows the full path and a new line for commands.

It will also print the exit code of the last command in red above the prompt, if the exit code is not 0.

PS1='$(ec="$?"; if [ $ec -gt 0 ]; then echo -e "\n"[\e[91m]"exit code: $ec"[\e[0m]; fi)\n[\e[92m]\u[\e[38;5;213m]@[\e[38;5;39m]\h[\e[0m]:$PWD\n$ '

[tiger_man_@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Mine is just status(if not zero) and wd

Convert the PWD value to use backslashes, too, for extra cursedness.

and rather elaborate. From left-to-right:

• name@server-name
• Uptime (multiplied by 10 and rounded to the nearest integer to save space)
• Percentage disk space available on /
• Number on established network connections
• Git branch : commit
• Python virtualenv
• [new line]
• date and time

The code for this is on GitLab.
