Rainbow Bash Prompt

An extension for bash that generates a rainbow-colored PS1 with IP address shown as 4 blocks of color.

Install with apt (ubuntu/debian)

Add the repository

You can add the repository by running the following command:

sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/soph-deb.gpg "https://cdn.sophuwu.com/deb/key.gpg" && echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/soph-deb.gpg] https://cdn.sophuwu.com/deb/ sophuwu main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sophdeb.list

This script will do the same thing:

curl https://cdn.sophuwu.com/deb/addrepo.sh | sudo sh

Install the “bash-rb-ps1” package

sudo apt update
sudo apt install bash-rb-ps1

Run for the first time

This will only work if you are using bash with xterm-like escape sequences. You can enable the generator by running:

eval $(bash-rb-ps1 help)

If you experience an error, or want to disable the prompt, you can run:

unset PROMPT_COMMAND
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '

To see help and other information about the command, use:

man bash-rb-ps1.1

Compile from source

make
sudo install ./build/bashprompt /usr/local/bin/bash-rb-ps1
sudo install ./releaser/bash-rb-ps1.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/bash-rb-ps1.1
