How to get a fancier bash prompt PS1 inside a docker container

Today I wanted to make a recording of me running some commands inside a docker-container.

❯ docker-compose run app bash
root@e9bb2af4dc11:/usr/local/go/src/example.com/dev/project#

Ever wanted to run your integration/end-to-end test suite at a lower speed so that you better could observe what's happening and perhaps make a recording of it?

Here's a a technique I've been using when writing tests with Capybara Selenium WebDriver.

Ruby on Rails locales-find script for fuzzy searching through locales yaml files using full dot notation part

Hacked together a quick ruby script for fuzzy searching for locale keys with their full dot notation part. It loads all yaml files in config/locales, flattenes all the key paths like sv.foo.bar.baz and prints the value and filename after. The result is passed through fzf for fuzzy filtering.

bin/locales-find | fzf --ansi -e

or maybe: docker-compose run --rm web bin/locales-find 2>/dev/null | fzf --ansi -e
