SSH module? #20

Closed thatso closed 6 years ago

I fail to understand how the SSH module is supposed to work. If I SSH into another machine, I simply see the plain shell prompt of that machine - without any of the fancy pureline modifications. What am I missing?

Similarly, the root module seems to do nothing. As soon as I issue SU, the shell reverts to the standard prompt.

Am I supposed to additionally install pureline on the servers I SSH into and for the root account itself respectively?

Sorry for sounding dumb. I'm familiar with bash, but never played around much with command line prompt customization.

To see PureLine on your SSH client, you are correct that you need to have it installed there. The same with su, you would need to have a PureLine prompt configured for root.

Thanks for the clarification. So my thinking was right. Happily closing this issue now and thank you again for the fast answer.
