NAME¶

byobu-prompt, byobu-enable-prompt, byobu-disable-prompt - add and remove a nice color prompt with a previous command timer to your shell configuration

SYNOPSIS¶

byobu-prompt

byobu-enable-prompt

byobu-disable-prompt

DESCRIPTION¶

Byobu provides a special PS0 and PS1 prompt command, compatible with Bash shells. It will display the previous command's total runtime and exit code, if it's not zero. It will use 3 separate colors for the local username, hostname, and the current working directory.

byobu-enable-prompt will add one line to your ~/.bashrc.

You can safely remove the line from your ~/.bashrc, which ends in #byobu-prompt.

byobu-disable-prompt will remove its color configuration from ~/.bashrc.

byobu-prompt is an interactive wrapper of the previous two tools.

BUGS¶

This is currently only compatible with bash(1).
