Pretty and colored bash prompt.

gistfile1.sh

export PROMPT_COMMAND='PS1="\[\033[0;33m\]\!\[\033[1;30m\]|\[\033[1;34m\]\$(date +%H:%M)\[\033[1;30m\]|\`if [[ $? = "0" ]]; then echo "\\[\\033[32m\\]"; else echo "\\[\\033[31m\\]"; fi\`\u.\h\[\033[1;30m\]:\[\033[1;37m\]\`if [[ `pwd|wc -c|tr -d " "` > 18 ]]; then echo "\\W"; else echo "\\w"; fi\` \`if [[ "`id -u`" = "0" ]]; then echo "\\[\\033[31m\\]"; else echo "\\[\\033[32m\\]"; fi\`\\$\[\033[0;0m\] "; echo -ne "\033]0;`hostname -s`:`pwd`\007"'

It looks like number|hh:mm|user.host:folder $ for regular user and number|hh:mm|user.host:folder # for root.

To use it add the gist content to the end of /etc/bash.bashrc (to use system-wide) or ~/.bashrc (restrict only for specific user).

What is number (first part)?

And yes, maybe SVN revision \ git branch? :)

@artvolk, this is the command number in the bash history. So later you can run the command from histoy by typing !123 in the shell prompt.

Thanks, already put in in all my .bashrc files :)

Very very.
Thanks :)

It seems it breaks in Ubuntu local console (over SSH it works).

@artvolk: how comes that? I use it always on my local ubuntu.
