[Suggestion] provide default prompt for fish shell #1571

Closed scarf005 closed 3 weeks ago

scarf005 commented 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

it's easy to distinguish you're inside a box on bash thanks to a custom prompt like 📦[scarf@fedora scarf]$:

https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/c05b6a43769bfa56d572a457f1420e0e2589fe3b/distrobox-init#L2028-L2031

however there isn't one for fish, making it hard to determine whether you're on host or box.

Describe the solution you'd like

provide default fish shell prompt inside distrobox.

Describe alternatives you've considered

provide guide on how to set up custom fish prompt that detects whether you're inside a box and shows prompt accordingly.

Additional context

i'm interested in opening a PR.

I would suggest doing something like this, so only bash is to be dealt with. In theory you could also do this for any other shell.
