I’m looking for inspiration for a custom Bash prompt[1]. I’d love to see yours! 😊 If possible, include both the prompt’s PS1, and a screenshot/example of what it looks like.

      Same. I guess, this is the Starship thread now. My config:

      I adapted it from the Gruvbox Rainbow theme.
      I can post my config, if anyone wants specifically that. (It does kind of assume a light background, though.)

        I like the timer and the error icon on a fail. I can’t recall how often I think: damn this is taking too long. I should’ve timed the command

      Another starship user. Mostly want it to summarise useful stuff for folders pulled from git or whatever so it’s pretty plain rest of the time. I use the same on all my boxes
