It's common enough that I made sure our AWS boxes put the name of the current environment both in the bash prompt and rails console prompts (production is in bright red, staging is a nice soothing purple :).
- RockyMcNuts 11y agoI actually make a terminal-window-size PNG of 'PRODUCTION' and 'TEST' and set it as the background gif at like 10% alpha in the terminal windows, which also have different background colors.
- twic 11y agoI set the background colour in our team's shared iTerm config. Green for CI, blue for the test server, yellow for staging, and we don't have access to production!
- eric_h 11y agoThe thing I like about our setup is that it's completely independent of individual developers' setups. Some of us use iterm, some of us are okay with terminal.app (iterm 2 ftw!). All of the backend capable folks (three of us) do have access to production, but we use it very responsibly (helped by the white on a red background production in the console prompt)
