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.

    My shit is custom and rather elaborate.

    Screenshot of the prompt

    From left-to-right:

    • name@server-name
    • Uptime (multiplied by 10 and rounded to the nearest integer to save space)
    • Percentage disk space available on /
    • Number on established network connections
    • Git branch : commit
    • Python virtualenv
    • [new line]
    • date and time

    The code for this is on GitLab.
