Favorite Linux Prompts?
Favorite Linux Prompts?
I was curious as to what prompts people find are the best for development? I'm looking for a change from the generic debian:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
Which yields:
dell-xps-13@pop-os:~$
I use zsh for my shell, with
powerlevel10k
as my prompt. It's gorgeous and has an interactice condigurator on first start. It includes stuff like git repo branch and status, python venv, aws profile... I've used it for years and loved it the whole time.13 0 ReplyNo doubt p10k is excellent, and the dev knows what he's doing and helps others a lot.
Another great zsh prompt with a simpler implementation is agkozak's: https://github.com/agkozak/agkozak-zsh-prompt

Personally, I like starship, and how it's consistent across different shells. I mostly use defaults, but with line break before command.
11 0 ReplyI wasn't aware of starship. It looks great and even supports Powershell! Do you have any font recommendations to go along with it?

I wrote my own! But you probably don't want to use it, I am sure it only works for me. But hey! It was fun! https://github.com/e2dubba/liteprompt

4 0 ReplyI have randomized oh-my-zsh prompts when using zsh, and the default starship prompt when using bash
3 0 ReplyDo you have a random oh-my-zsh prompt everytime you use zsh? That sounds maddening haha, what's the appeal?
3 0 ReplyLike many things, I have no idea why I'm doing it.

No so much a prompt but I love Neofetch.
Looks nice with starship as well - https://itsfoss.com/starship/.
