# agnoster's Theme - https://gist.github.com/3712874
# A Powerline-inspired theme for BASH
#
# (Converted from ZSH theme by Kenny Root)
#
# # README
#
# In order for this theme to render correctly, you will need a
# [Powerline-patched font](https://gist.github.com/1595572).
#
# In addition, I recommend the
# [Solarized theme](https://github.com/altercation/solarized/) and, if you're
# using it on Mac OS X, [iTerm 2](http://www.iterm2.com/) over Terminal.app -
# it has significantly better color fidelity.
#
# # Goals
#
# The aim of this theme is to only show you *relevant* information. Like most
# prompts, it will only show git information when in a git working directory.
# However, it goes a step further: everything from the current user and
# hostname to whether the last call exited with an error to whether background
# jobs are running in this shell will all be displayed automatically when
# appropriate.
 
### Segment drawing
# A few utility functions to make it easy and re-usable to draw segmented prompts

uh, how do I install this theme?

ugh, almost..

(I have the powerline font in place, not sure what I messed up)

Just like @emjayess's result.

I spent some time this weekend to fix this... major update that I ended up putting in a separate repo here:
https://github.com/speedenator/agnoster-bash

Works for MacOSX, Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, and Bash v3 (on MacOSX) and Bash v4. Comments appreciated!

@speedenator thank you for creating agnoster-bash!
