prompt

prompt

Just my favorite console prompt. If you like it, use it for your benefit. The installation is very simple:

# Install as a binary
go install prompt.go

# Then edit your ~/.bashrc and set (as an example):
PS1=""
PROMPT_COMMAND="prompt -host $(hostname)"

To see settings, try:

prompt --help

This shows how to include in the prompt:

• The hostname,
• Date,
• Current working directory and git status (if inside a git repository),
• Etc.

prompt shows its output as colored text, suitable for regular terminals. There is currently no possibility to change the colors.
