Anyone use any cool Bash Prompts?

What is your unique PS1= ?

I have a pretty good one, but I'm wondering if anyone has something interesting.

A nice trick for your coworkers is to set their:
PS1=login:

Try these in your .bashrc :

Code:

PS1="\[\033[1;36m\][\u@\[\033[1;37m\]\h:\[\033[1;33m\]\w]\\$\[\033[0m\] "
SUDO_PS1="\[\033[1;31m\][\u@\[\033[1;37m\]\h:\[\033[1;33m\]\w]\\$\[\033[0m\] "

I like it, since a 'normal' user will be cyan, with the current working directory and prompt in yellow, when you have a SUDO shell, the user turns red.

LOL. That's a good one.

I have my zsh prompt and terminal environment customized... image here.

Funny that.

Some years ago I posted a thread as a joke saying I was trying to get Linux installed on my Adam computer and noted it had the "full" 56 k RAM upgrade.

@ .bashrc
export export PS1="\[\033[0m\][\[\033[1;32m\]\u@\[\033[1;37m\]\h \[\033[1;33m\]\W\[\033[0m\]]\\$\[\033[1;32m\] "

Your prompt is awesome. I'm trying to make a tri-color rectangle based on your color scheme.
Can you tell me a site that explains different formatting options for bash or any other shell?

Me and my brother were really into BBS's and ANSI and stuff back in the day. So, its no surprise that he took his prompts/dir colors to the next level. Here is the code for it.

Code:

CLr0="\[\033[0;30m\]"
CLr1="\[\033[0;34m\]"
CLr2="\[\033[0;32m\]"
CLr3="\[\033[0;36m\]"
CLr4="\[\033[0;31m\]"
CLr5="\[\033[0;35m\]"
CLr6="\[\033[0;33m\]"
CLr7="\[\033[0;37m\]"
CLr8="\[\033[1;30m\]"
CLr9="\[\033[1;34m\]"
CLr10="\[\033[1;32m\]"
CLr11="\[\033[1;36m\]"
CLr12="\[\033[1;31m\]"
CLr13="\[\033[1;35m\]"
CLr14="\[\033[1;33m\]"
CLr15="\[\033[1;37m\]"
PS1="$CLr4($CLr8\u$CLr15@$CLr7\h$CLr4)-($CLr7\@$CLr2 $CLr8\d$CLr4)-($CLr12\w$CLr4)$CLr1\n$CLr8\\$ $CLr15>$CLr7"
export PS1

Is zsh OK?

Regular user:

Code:

PS1=$'

┌──[ \e[0;32m%n @ %M\e[0m ]─[ %d ]
└╼ $ '

PS1="\[\033[00m\]\[\033[00m\]\[\033[01;39m\]$DOS\[\033[00m\]"
