## Tested on
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 24.04
|
||||
- `bash` 5.2
|
||||
- `zsh` 5.9
|
||||
- `ion` 1.0.0-alpha
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the pre-built binary from [releases](https://git.candifloss.cc/candifloss/PrettyPrompt/releases), or build from source:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://git.candifloss.cc/candifloss/PrettyPrompt.git
|
||||
cd PrettyPrompt/
|
||||
cargo build --release #Now find the `prettyprompt` binary in `target/release/`
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Move the binary to a path in your `$PATH`. Eg:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo mv /path/to/prettyprompt /usr/bin/
|
||||
```
|
||||
Or add it to your `$PATH` variable by adding this to your `bashrc`, `zshrc`, or `ion/initrc`
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PATH="$PATH:/your/path"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The binary needs to be in your `$PATH`. Place it somewhere like `/usr/bin/`, or add the appropriate path to the `$PATH` variable
|
||||
The configuration depends on the shell and the configuration file location can vary according to your distro.

### `bash`
|
||||
|
||||
System-wide: `/etc/bash.bashrc` or User-specific: `$HOME/.bashrc`:
|
||||
- The `PS1` variable sets a fixed prompt string.
|
||||
- This `PROMPT_COMMAND` variable updates the prompt every time.
|
||||
|
||||
System-wide: `/etc/bash.bashrc`, or User-specific: `$HOME/.bashrc`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PS1="" // PS1 is a fixed prompt variable.
|
||||
PROMPT_COMMAND="prettyprompt $?" // This updates the prompt every time.
|
||||
PS1="" # Set it to an empty string
|
||||
PROMPT_COMMAND='prettyprompt $?' # Single quotes, not double quotes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `ion`
|
||||
|
||||
User-specific: `$HOME/.config/ion/initrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
The `PROMPT` function is currently the only way to customize the prompt according to the ion shell docs.
|
||||
User-specific config file: `$HOME/.config/ion/initrc`:
|
||||
```ion
|
||||
# This is currently the only way to customize the prompt according to the docs
|
||||
fn PROMPT
|
||||
prettyprompt $?
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `zsh`
|
||||
Export the `PS1` variable with the output of `prettyprompt $?` as its value.
|
||||
User-specific: `$HOME/.zshrc`, System-wide: `/etc/zsh/zshrc`:
|
||||
```zsh
|
||||
export PS1='$(prettyprompt $?)'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes since the last version
|
||||
- **Updated Output String Type:** Improved compatibility with other shells.
|
