💖 NAME 💖

byobu-prompt, byobu-enable-prompt, byobu-disable-prompt — bestie, these three are here to add and remove a nice color prompt with a previous command timer to your shell configuration ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

byobu-prompt
byobu-enable-prompt
byobu-disable-prompt

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so Byobu ships a special PS0 and PS1 prompt command, and it's compatible with Bash shells 💅 It will display the previous command's total runtime and its exit code, if it's not zero. no cap. And it'll use 3 separate colors for the local username, the hostname, and the current working directory — it's giving main character energy, fr fr.

  • byobu-enable-prompt — this one will add one line to your ~/.bashrc 🫶

You can safely remove the line from your ~/.bashrc, which ends in #byobu-prompt ✨ (yes bestie, it literally tags itself so you can find it, iconic).

  • byobu-disable-prompt — this one will remove its color configuration from ~/.bashrc 🧚
  • byobu-prompt — this one is an interactive wrapper of the previous two tools 👑

💀 BUGS 💀

This is currently only compatible with bash(1) 😭 sorry to the zsh girlies.
