Not change the PS1 #60

Closed Mte90 closed 8 years ago

Mte90 commented 8 years ago

Is possible to not change the PS1 output of the shell? in my case is: mte90@siduction:~$ but with that became #

twolfson commented 8 years ago

Unfortunately, the prompt operates by overriding PS1. It's unclear but did you want help debugging or uninstalling sexy-bash-prompt?

Mte90 commented 8 years ago

Only how to change the code so the PS1 remain like the original but only the git commands will be colorful.

twolfson commented 8 years ago

I still don't understand. What do you mean by "the original" and "git commands will be colorful"? Can you provide examples?

Mte90 commented 8 years ago

With that software I get

root at siduction in /tmp
# quit

but the original on my system is

root@siduction:/tmp#

twolfson commented 8 years ago

Ah, I see so you want the coloring but not the "at"/"in"/multiline format.

twolfson commented 8 years ago

I can think of 2 options:

Fork the repo and customize it as you want (a lot of people do this)
Run the normal .bash_prompt and then override PS1 again with your custom format
- Here is our reference PS1 https://github.com/twolfson/sexy-bash-prompt/blob/0.26.4/.bash_prompt#L258-L269
- The default bash prompt PS1 can be found in /etc/bashrc
- PS1='\h:\W \u\$ '
- More details can be found under PROMPTING in man bash

Ok thanks for the info. In my case is '${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '

Mte90 commented 8 years ago

PS1="${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$( sexy_bash_prompt_is_on_git && \
  echo -n \" \[$sexy_bash_prompt_preposition_color\]on\[$sexy_bash_prompt_reset\] \" && \
  echo -n \"\[$sexy_bash_prompt_git_status_color\]\$(sexy_bash_prompt_get_git_info)\" && \
  echo -n \"\[$sexy_bash_prompt_git_progress_color\]\$(sexy_bash_prompt_get_git_progress)\" && \
  echo -n \"\[$sexy_bash_prompt_preposition_color\]\")\[$sexy_bash_prompt_reset\]\
\[$sexy_bash_prompt_symbol_color\]$sexy_bash_prompt_symbol \[$sexy_bash_prompt_reset\]"

Ok now i have changed in that way and is perfect for my needs.
