# 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: ```bash 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: ```bash curl https://cdn.sophuwu.com/deb/addrepo.sh | sudo sh ``` ### Install the "bash-rb-ps1" package ```bash 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: ```bash eval $(bash-rb-ps1 help) ``` If you experience an error, or want to disable the prompt, you can run: ```bash unset PROMPT_COMMAND PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' ``` To see help and other information about the command, use: ```bash man bash-rb-ps1.1 ``` ## Compile from source ```bash 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 ``` ## Options: Environment variables can be set to customize the prompt. ### `IPCOLOR` * Controls how the IP address is printed. * `IPCOLOR=""` IP address will be colored with the default color palette. * `IPCOLOR="alt"` IP address will be colored with an alternate color palette. * `IPCOLOR="none"` IP address will not be printed. ### `PWDLEN` * Controls the length of the printed working directory. * `PWDLEN=0` Full path. * `PWDLEN=1` Only the current directory. * `PWDLEN=2` Current directory and its parent. ### `RBPSFMT` * Controls the format of the prompt. * Only valid format specifiers will be printed. Strings or invalid specifiers will be ignored. * Default: `"%i %? %u %l %e %d"` * Certain specifiers allow custom colours, to use them, put a number 0-255 after the `%` in the form `fg.bg` (`%32.240u`, `%.42l`, `%128d`). * Format specifiers: * `%i` - IP address (4 blocks of color) * `%?` - Exit code of last command * `%u` - Username * `%h` - Hostname * `%l` - Line number * `%e` - Random emote (:D, :P, etc.) * `%d` - Current working directory (shortened according to `PWDLEN`) ## Preview Rainbow Bash Prompt
