PROMPT="%{$fg[white]$ %}%~%{$reset_color%} "

looks like:

$ ~

I use grml's zsh configuration so:
https://gist.github.com/Head-on-a-Stick … ede9534aca

I think that's everything

The normal display is just:

empty@alpine ~ %

But it can be modified further (there is an option to add battery status and other stuff).

When a command errors out, a sad face is printed on the right and the error code is printed before the prompt.

When in git directories, the prompt displays some version information:

empty@alpine ~/arc-theme (git)-[master] %

The prompt is dynamic and changes according to the completion status and I'm sure it does lots of other cool stuff I don't even know about.

The configuration is the same as that used for the Arch live ISO

See https://grml.org/zsh/ & http://grml.org/zsh/zshrc

Just colour changes for me:
user:

PS1='\[\e[1;32m\]\u@\h \W\$\[\e[0m\] '

root:

PS1='\[\e[0;91m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[0;92m\]@\h \W\$\[\e[0m\] '

yes, i agree.
i tried to pack as many features as possible into that scrot. it's not exactly beautiful, but it's great to work with - commands' outputs are always nicely seperated by a colorful bar.
great when you have to scroll back up and find something.

I use

PS1="\[\033[33m\]\@ \w \$ \[\033[0m\]"

and

PROMPT_DIRTRIM=2

brontosaurusrex · 2016-05-12 09:04:38

@ohnonot & to the people of more complex examples that may follow:

Could you add 3-5 main/interesting features to the post (From your perspective)?

ohnonot · 2016-05-12 20:27:13

^ i don't understand the request? what do you want me to add? explanations? other prompts?
or do you mean, explain what the prompt does?

brontosaurusrex · 2016-05-12 20:40:09

What are the main or interesting features for you, for example:

features

- smart git status
- error code number
- dunno

All optional of course, but will make the thread a lot more useful for the casual reader imho.

ohnonot · 2016-05-12 20:47:38

ahh, i see.
from my personal config:

Show the last command's exit code if it was non-zero
Show a padlock if the current user has no write access to the current directory
Show the current user's username as in ordinary prompts
Show the current directory. If the path is too long, the middle part is replaced with ellipsis
Show the current git branch and status
Shows a '#' if the current user is root, '$' otherwise. Also, changes color if the last command exited with a non-zero error code

https://github.com/olmokramer/.dotfiles … ash_prompt

Looks something like this:

user@bunsen-labs /my/current/path : )
» true
user@bunsen-labs /my/current/path : )
» false
user@bunsen-labs /my/current/path 1 : (
»

There's an empty line between previous output and the next prompt line

The color of the smilies on the right and the arrow on the left indicate previous exit status

If a command failed the exit code is printed next to the sad smily

(Will probably only work with bash, haven't tested other shells)

I added fortunes using quotes from Rick Cook's Wizardry Compiled

PS1='\[\033[0;36m\] ┌ ─ [\l] ─ \[\033[1;34m\][\w]\n \[\033[0;36m\]└ ─ > \[\033[0;37m\]$ \[\033[0;37m\]'

the \l gives the basename of the shell’s terminal device name; the prompt will show tty1 etc.. when switching to a console.

wagmic · 2016-05-19 11:11:22

Mine :

PS1='\[\033[0;36m\] ┌ ─ ─[\u@\h]─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ \[\033[0;31m\]\t\[\033[0;36m\]\n └ ─ >\[\033[1;34m\](${PWD}) \$ \[\033[0;37m\]'

current directory, last command success, and git info

# PS1 with error, and git info
__set_ps1 (){
    local err="\[\033[1;31m\]" # error -- red
    local nor="\[\033[1;30m\]" # normal -- white
    local por="\[\033[1;30m\]" # prompt char
    local dirty="\[\033[0;33m\]" # dirty git
    local rst="\[\033[0m\]"    # Text Reset
    #
    # git info
    local gitinfo=
    local branch=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD --short 2> /dev/null)
    if [[ $branch ]]; then
        local x=$(git status --porcelain)
        if [[ $x ]]; then
            gitinfo="${nor}(${dirty}${branch}${nor}) "
        else
            gitinfo="${nor}(${branch}) "
        fi
    fi
    #
    # generate prompt
    PS1="\n \$([[ \$? != 0 ]] && echo \"$err\" || echo \"$nor\")\W ${gitinfo}${por}$ $rst"
}
# set PS1
PROMPT_COMMAND="__set_ps1"

following shows normal prompt, error, clean git, and dirty git, respectively.
