Ask HN: Looking for a directory of PS1 command prompts. Like awesome lists
Command line bros, assemble!
PS1 is the settings that give you the cool prompts on the command line.
I've gone searching for a directory of PS1's where I can browse, save, and try out different command prompts.
Do i need to make this? Or is my google-fu, perplexity-fu, and gpt-fu just not where it needs to be?
Or do I need to make one?
- SG- 1y agoI think people mostly just use powerlevel10k and various themes.
- dcminter 1y agoI wonder if Oh my Zsh and its equivalents for other shells might be what you're really after? https://ohmyz.sh/ https://ohmyz.sh/
- satvikpendem 1y agoYou can just use Starship
- skydhash 1y agoHere is mine as an example. I started with oh-my-zsh, then moved to bash and just keep the basic information I need. # Simple prompt function set_bash_prompt { status=$? container="" if test -f /run/.containerenv; then container="($(cat /run/.containerenv | grep name | cut -d\" -f2)) " fi if test $status -eq 0 ; then # Last command succeeded, set prompt to green PS1="\[\e[0;32m\]" else # Last command failed, set prompt to red PS1="\[\e[0;31m\]" fi PS1+="$container\w \$ \[\e[0m\]" } if [ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then export PS1="\u@\h: \w \$ " else # export PS1="\e[0;32m\]\w $ \[\e[0m\]" PROMPT_COMMAND=set_bash_prompt fi export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=1 # number of trailing directory to retain when using \w Note: I've used toolbox and distrobox, so the function at the top was just to add what current env I'm in. Kinda like venv.
- bjourne 1y agoThat is basically what Oh My Zsh does for zsh: https://ohmyz.sh/ https://ohmyz.sh/ Even if you don't use zsh you can look at the source code and adapt the prompts for the shell you are using.
