Bash prompt

Tuning

Setting color:

• begin color: \e[0;33m (see color table below)
• end color: \e[m
• dark 0 - bright 1 after \e[ color declaration
• color begin and end marks should be escaped with \[ (begin) and \] (end)

GIT

$(__git_ps1 "%s")

My personal configurations

My old favourite (do 2008-2013)

PS1="\[\e[0;33m\]\\u\[\e[0m\]\[\e[0;34m\]@\[\e[0m\]\[\e[0;33m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:\\W\\$ "

OBR - Show actual GIT branch

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[00m\] \[\033[1;34m\]\w\[\033[0m\]:\[\033[32m\]$(__git_ps1 "%s")\[\033[1;36m\] \$ \[\033[0m\]'

My new favourite (2013-??)

PS1='\u@\[\e[1;32m\]\H\[\e[m\]:\[\e[0;35m\]$(__git_ps1 "%s")\[\e[m\] \W$ '
