Command prompt setup

Quite for some time I was taking command prompt for granted, thinking that it is just as it is. But today is the day, I’m setting up the command prompt that I like!

Working alternative for zsh:

# ~/.zshrc
setopt PROMPT_SUBST

get_git_branch() {
  git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ :\1/'
}

export PS1='%n@[%~$(get_git_branch)] $ '

Adding colors:

• green for user name
• blue for path
• red for git branch (if any)

export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\[\033[00m\][\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[01;31m\]$(get_git_branch)\[\033[00m\]] $ '
