bash_prompt

This bash prompt clearly and consisely lays out a whole bunch of useful status information to make your bash session an even more joyous experience! The main design ethos was to break apart output from individual bash commands very clearly, show status information only when needed and place information on the screen where it's most relevant. So, for example, I place a blank line and horizontal rule between each command, display the exit status as a coloured UTF character right next where you're contuing your train of thought and place the completion time of your previous command way over to the right, so it's there if you want it but not cluttering your line of sight.

If you find this useful and want me to do more of the same, you can tip me at https://www.gittip.com/ch3pjw/

Features include:

  • Dynamic layout (resizes according to the width of your terminal, truncates long working directory path if necessary)
  • Previous command exit status and completion time
  • Git status (including pending pushes/merges)
  • Number of background jobs (including stopped jobs)
  • Number of connected tmux sessions
  • Native bash
