PS1 management

p

P is a tool to change PS1 quickly. It's designed for bash and zsh.

Installation

$ sudo make install
$ \p --patch

Then, start a new bash/zsh and run p:

Details

\p --patch will append configurations into ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc.

For ~/.bashrc, the configuration is:

## config for p

alias p="p `basename $(ps -p$$ -o cmd=)` && source $HOME/.p"

## end

For ~/.zshrc, the configuration is:

## config for p

autoload -U colors && colors
alias p="p `basename $(ps -p$$ -o cmd=)` && source $HOME/.p"

## end

p by default is installed to /usr/local/bin.

Currently, p is implemented by Python. A version by Shell is in the development. Other programming languages will be used to implement p, but the timing is not clear.
