local pscolor=”%B%(?,%F{green},%F{red})”
PS1=”${pscolor}> %f%b”
PS2=”${pscolor}> %f%b”
RPROMPT=”(%!%) %T”

A very simple ascii art fish, used as a ps1. The eye is actually the pwd, and the fish turns red when the last command returns an error. I also have a right-aligned prompt with the history event number and time.

This is somewhat novel but very useful.

Simple and powerfull.

# Colour stuff
autoload colors zsh/terminfo
if [[ "$terminfo[colors]” -ge 8 ]]; then
colors
fi
for color in RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE MAGENTA CYAN WHITE; do
eval PR_$color=’%{$terminfo[bold]$fg[${(L)color}]%}’
eval PR_LIGHT_$color=’%{$fg[${(L)color}]%}’
(( count = $count + 1 ))
done
PR_NO_COLOR=”%{$terminfo[sgr0]%}”

# Environment variables
PS1=”$PR_LIGHT_BLUE%m$PR_NO_COLOR:$PR_LIGHT_WHITE%2c$PR_NO_COLOR %n%(!.#.$) ”
RPS1=”$PR_LIGHT_RED$(__prompt_git)$PR_NO_COLOR $PR_LIGHT_YELLOW%D{%H:%M}$PR_NO_COLOR !%h”

Lovely little prompt. Looks kinda like…

osx:~ james$ (master) 00:38 !61

…but with lots of pretty colours!

I’m mainly posting because I want a Mac with Safari on the comment list!

if [[ `whoami` = root ]] then

a1=”%{$fg_bold[red]%}”

a2=”%{$fg_no_bold[red]%}”

else

a1=”%{$fg_bold[white]%}”

a2=”%{$fg_no_bold[white]%}”

fi

PROMPT=”$a1(%n@%m)$a2(%D{%d/%m}+%D{%H:%M})”$’\n’

PROMPT+=”$a2(%~) %{$reset_color%}”

Do let me know!

local smiley=”%(?,%{$fg[green]%}:%)%{$reset_color%},%{$fg[red]%}:(%{$reset_color%})”
PROMPT=$’%{\e[0;36m%}%B[%b%{\e[0m%}%B%n%b%{\e[0;36m%}%B@%b%{\e[0m%}%B%m%b%{\e[0;36m%}%B]%b%{\e[0;36m%}%B[%b%{\e[0m%}%B${smiley}%b%{\e[0;36m%}%B]%b%{\e[0m%}%B%#%b

looks like this:

[user@host][:)] % cd sh
[user@host][:)] % ls foo
ls: cannot access foo: No such file or directory
[user@host][:(] %

It will show a green smiley if the last command finished successfully, or a red frowney if it did not.

PROMPT=$’%(?..%{\e[41;38m%}%B-%?-%b%{\e[0m%} )%(1j.%{\e[01;33m%}[%j] .)%{\e[01;32m%}%m%{\e[0m%} %{\e[01;36m%}%2~%{\e[0m%} %B%#%b '
RPROMPT=$'%{\e[00;07m%}%(?..$exitstuff)% %{\e[0m%} %T'

# Taken and modified from "atom's .zshrc" public release v0.109 - http://smasher.org/zsh/
precmd () {
local exitstatus="${?}"
if [[ ${exitstatus} -ge 128 && $exitstatus -le (127+${#signals}) ]]; then
# Last process was killed by a signal. Find out what it was from
# the $signals environment variable.
exitstuff=”${signals[${exitstatus}-127]}”
else
unset exitstuff
fi
}

___________________
The function here tells you the name of the interrupt, which I like
Also, RPROMPT tells the time in reverse video, so no problem while testing different themes etc. Although I am planning to switch it to the left so that copy-pasting can become easier

if test `whoami` != “root”
then
PS1=”${fg_light_cyan}%B%n@%m:${fg_light_blue}%~${fg_light_gray}%#%b ”
else
PS1=”${fg_red}%B%n@%m:${fg_red}%~${fg_light_gray}%#%b ”
fi
RPROMPT=”${fg_cyan}%t${fg_no_colour}”

but what I really like is the right justified prompt which is where I display the current directory…

RPROMPT=%~

prompt clint blue cyan white yellow white
prompt -h clint

Regardless, nice writeup of a simple and elegant prompt.

name@host:(last element of pwd)$
At far right is the exit code if not 0.
Colors make it a bit hard to read.

cool dude. We are heading to a momentum when everybody can handle xorg.conf or grub but doesn’t know what bash is.

computer illiterates ftw!

PS: copying your $PS1 to my ~/.bashrc at light speed
