>You know what else I hate? Typing in long commands in the Mac OS X terminal and then them wrapping weirdly. Are you escaping your color codes in PS1 correctly? Bad: PS1="\033[1;32m \w \033[m $" Good (notice the extra \[ and \]): PS1="\[\033[1;32m\] \w \[\033[m\] $"

This. Right Here. For the longest time I could not figure out why my Ctrl-r (history) was so messed up.

Mine seems escaped as hell, but still gets wrapped. Anything I'm missing? edit: couldn't get UTF-8 branch symbol to be properly displayed here, but this is how it looks: http://i.imgur.com/zuq24gV.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/zuq24gV.png?1 function fancyPrompt { local bgBlue="\[\033[48;5;31m\]" local fgBlue="\[\033[38;5;31m\]" local fgWhite="\[\033[38;5;231m\]" local bgDarkBlue="\[\033[48;5;24m\]" local fgDarkBlue="\[\033[38;5;24m\]" local bgDarkGray="\[\033[48;5;237m\]" local bgLightGray="\[\033[48;5;245m\]" local fgLightGray="\[\033[38;5;245m\]" local colorClear="\[\033[0m" local branch local branch_symbol="\[\] " if branch=$( { git symbolic-ref --quiet HEAD || git rev-parse --short HEAD; } 2>/dev/null ); then branch=${branch##*/} export PS1="${bgBlue}${fgWhite}\h${colorClear}${fgBlue}${bgDarkBlue}\[\] ${fgWhite}\w${bgLightGray}${fgDarkBlue}\[\] ${fgWhite}${branch_symbol}${branch}${fgLightGray}${bgDarkGray}\[\] ${colorClear}" else export PS1="${bgBlue}${fgWhite}\h${colorClear}${fgBlue}${bgDarkBlue}\[\] ${fgWhite}\w${bgDarkGray}${fgDarkBlue}\[\] ${colorClear}" fi }

  That's quite pretty. How do you get the triangles? I've been loving a prompt which color codes git branches (which, if I understand right, would be built-in if I used zsh instead of bash) [0], though I have to edit the last line in order to get my history appendation working as well. 0: https://gist.github.com/tobiassjosten/828432 https://gist.github.com/tobiassjosten/828432

  Try not escaping around the triangles and branch symbols.
