wtd-bash-prompt

| A bash prompt that shows information, only if you really need them.

Features

Screenshot

The terminal emulator you can see here is Terminix. Screenshot is taken by daniel-wtd.

Error Display

Shows a little, red "x" at the beginning of the prompt, if the last command was not successful or returns non-zero.

Git integration

The usage of git-prompt.sh is implemented and will be used, if git is installed. So you can see the git status in your prompt, when joining a git directory.

Coloring

Root is colored in red, systemusers in yellow and regular users in green.

Background Job Counter

Displays a background job counter (jobs), if there are background jobs.

Remote Affinity

When working locally, the prompt has no hostname. After ssh-ing into another host you can see the hostname in the prompt.
