pretty-exit-status.sh

Shell include that shows the status of the last-executed process

To use:

1. Save pretty-exit-status.sh somewhere sensible. (e.g., ~/.pretty_exit_status.sh)

2. In your .bashrc or .bash_profile add the following:

source ~/.pretty_exit_status.sh

(or wherever you saved the script)

3. Later on in that same .bashrc or .bash_profile, put the following somewhere in the PS1 variable:

$(pretty_exit_status $?)

For example, if you just want to prefix your current prompt, just do:

export PS1='$(pretty_exit_status $?)\n'$PS1

That’s it! :)
