I use Starship

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

$ or # , depending on whether I’m root.

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\[\033[00m\]\$ '

export PS1="\[\e[31m\][\[\e[m\]\[\e[38;5;172m\]\u\[\e[m\]@\[\e[38;5;153m\]\h\[\e[m\] \[\e[38;5;214m\]\W\[\e[m\]\[\e[31m\]]\[\e[m\]\\$ "

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.

Mine shows the user and host, git commit and branch, docker context and directory, color coded based on status of git:

[root@server001|G:19e526e@(master)|D:myContext|currentDir] $

Maybe you can find some inspiration here.

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
set vi-cmd-mode-string \1\e[33m\2.CMD

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

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

I am a simple man.

My bash prompt is just me copying the prompt I have set on fish.

# Prompt
green=$'\e[38;5;2m'
bright_red=$'\e[38;5;9m'
bright_green=$'\e[38;5;10m'
reset=$'\e[0m'

prompt_command()
{
    local exit_status=$?

    if [[ $exit_status != 0 ]]; then
        exit_color=$bright_red
        exit_prompt=" [$exit_status]"
    else
        exit_color=$bright_green
        exit_prompt=""
    fi
}

PROMPT_COMMAND=prompt_command
PS1='\[$green\]\w\[$exit_color\]$exit_prompt\n❯ \[$reset\]'

I have a small issue with this prompt though. Sometimes the ❯ ends up turning white for some reason.

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$ ’

I use zsh, but my old Bash prompt looks almost the same as 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 '
