G'wan, Show us your bash prompt!

Syth

What Bash (or other) Prompt do you use, and why? Stick it up here! Expose yourself!

Mine is "\[\033[34m\][\w]\[\033[0m\]$ " For those that can't figure out the escape sequences (:)), it displays the current folder in blue surrounded by square brackets, followed by a black 4 then a space. I like it. The blue makes it easy to see where a command started and it's short and informative.

Your turn!

\h:>

I used to have a fancier one, but then I *ahem* ran "shutdown now".

Not so bad in itself, except I was logged in as root... into the companies file and print server. :eek:

So Now I need to have the name of the computer there, just to be sure. Although, I'm thinking of a change.

niallb

I use this so I know who and where I am.
I use the \# when logged in as root, as it nags me
about how many commands I've executed as root.
I used to use a similar one with a \j instead of a \#
to remind me just how many processes I had running in the background.

PS1='\u@\h (\#)\w\$ '

Gentoo default - user@host in green, basename of the current directory.

Bash, bleh.

I use ZSH and here's the prompt:

PS1="$(print '%{\e[1;31m%}(%{\e[0;36m%}%T%{\e[1;31m%}) (%{\e[1;34m%}%25<..<%l%{\e[1;31m%})%{\e[1;33m%} %# %{\e[0m%}')"

RPS1="$(print '%{\e[0;36m%}%~%{\e[1;31m%}%{\e[0m%}')"

- shows the current dir on the right hand side.

set prompt="%m %{^[[1;32;40m%}[%~] %{^[[00;31;40m%}%B%@%b%{^[[0;37;40m%}%#"

from my .tcshrc - don't remember everything it does , but it keep me happy. Displays machine name, current directory (relevant to /home if applicable) and current time, with colour.

Silent Bob

PS1="[\u@\h \w]\$ "

Is what I use on my main box.

Not very imaginative, but there you go.

I use different colours for the machine name part of my prompt on different machines, to help distinguish between all those ssh sessions

Typedef

I don't use this prompt.... but, it looks cool in my sig.

I should really try some new bash colours

Love it Happens me too, never thought of making an alias though.
