Finally happy with my Bash prompt! This is probably not very efficient, but I like it!

  • starship

    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

  • I just use starship, which makes it a lot easier. I actually make it single line and as basic as possible, so that it looks like the default Debian coloured prompt normally, but the modules kick in on a single line when relevant.

  • agnoster-zsh-theme

    A ZSH theme designed to disclose information contextually, with a powerline aesthetic

  • i use oh my zsh, and my prompt theme is agnoster. it's pretty simple.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • awesome-tmux

    A list of awesome resources for tmux

  • dotfiles

    dotfiles for endeavour !!(work in progress)!! (by lowpoly1)

  • The cursor is right after the smiley face, and you type in the middle. The prompt actually prints the middle line last, using \e[F to return to that line after printing space and RAM. Here is the source, line 46 is where the variable is actually set. You can also look at line 20 of my main bashrc for a somewhat simpler prompt with the same multi-line concept. (This one is much easier to read because it doesn't also have right alignment.)
