i'm not sure if this has been done before, but i was wondering if we could start posting screenshots of unique and cool custom bash prompts... or links to..

[LRT]

for inspiration...

Check out bashish:

One (of many themes available) example:

What can I change so that it can keep the same functionality, I just want it to say "Yes Master?" as the prompt?

Have you figured this out yet rudihawk? I was going to tell you, but I wasn't sure if you'd come across the answer elsewhere yet.

Hey fooey

No I haven't managed to figure it out yet, perhaps you could enlighten me?

That's actually pretty cool.

Why not see the real thing? Set your background colour to your favourite dark colour and enter


PS1='\[\033[01;39m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'

to try it out and save it in ~/.bashrc to keep it. To give root a red glow place:

PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'

in that accounts .bashrc

Admittedly not all that unique by a long shot... but still pretty cool.

Thanks Daniel,

Pretty much the same prompt as I'm using:

if [ ! `whoami` = root ]; then
	PS1="\[\033[1;32m\]\u@\H\[\033[31m\]:\[\033[34m\] \w\[\033[m\]\[\033[33m\] $>\[\033[37m\] "
else
	PS1="\[\033[31m\]\u@\H\[\033[1;32m\]:\[\033[34m\] \w\[\033[m\]\[\033[33m\] #>\[\033[37m\] "
fi

Sorry for the semi necro, but I thought I would answer you.

I know how. Just put this in your .bashrc:

PS1='Yes, master?'

That should do it.
