Ultimate Ubuntu Git console

#Ultimate Ubuntu Git console #instructions

  1. Go to your default ubuntu console by hitting ctrl + alt + T or selecting it from your applications list
  2. paste this and hit enter: gedit ~/.bashrc
  3. paste the code in the 'code' file (below) to the bottom of the now opened ~/.bashrc document on your desktop

##Customisation Line numbers in the description should be shown in relation to the code file

  • You can change text colors in your terminal by replacing the color-namings (where B before a color is Bold) in rule 37 to other values from 9 to 27. Color_OFF resets the current color to the default console color again this is necessary when applying other colors after current color to.
  • you can make a short path description (with only current folder instead of the full story) by replacing PathFull from rule 37 to PathShort.
  • You can insert the current time using $Time12h or $time12a
  • There's a Newline command to! insert it with $NewLine
  • Jobs can be viewed as well by inserting $Jobs

Good luck!
