Beautiful Bash

Tired of an Ugly prompt with no features? Fix it with this guide!

This works really well for a personal system. Don't use something like this as a crutch though if you have to log into multiple random systems. Just like you should know ed, ex, and vi before using some exotic vim profile. You never know what caveman-arsed system you might have to work on.

The thing I like more about your content is that you come up with great stuff that I usually don't even think about (like the Homebrew video, too). Thanks a lot!

Never replace someone's entire bashrc file with a symlink. The bashrc is holy and should be respected. Only ever append or prepend stuff and let the user know you're doing so.

Edit: I mean ask the user if it's okay to source the additional config (my original comment wasn't clear enough)

I'm somewhat late to the party. For new linux users wanting to revert to their original bash, you can do so with the following command:
cat /etc/skel/.bashrc > ~/.bashrc

That is, revert to the .bashrc file created with the home directory.

"So if you have a bash.rc, you're probably gonna wipe that out." wut dude?

Thanks Chris, Love the new look of my terminal:)

Thanks Chris you did an excelent job with starship and autojump, could you do a tutorial on these and go into your thinking a bit more? Can we loose the symlinks? I think it would be better, faster, more robust without symlinks. Thanks for the great guides and tutorials.

Awesome content Chris, thank you very much indeed. On another note, I installed your bootloader and it was working great until I upgraded Mint to version 21. Any ideas?

[waguiness]

Thanks Cris for the great config!! I note that it is not showing python virtual envs in the prompt. Any idea of how configure this?

🧑🏽‍💻♌💗 I'm playing around with debian & Wayland....lol I'm still friends with my tinycore build eventhough the frustration associated with tinycore was way more than I anticipated 😅...definitely learning how wild linux land can get..I must be insane because I absolutely love it....😅😅😅 thanks Chris for all the material... I feel like a DJ digging through the crates looking for the special vinyl you've got some great hits bro

Ptse, the little teaser for next Monday, cute 😄

[brandleesee]

Can these customizations be reflected in the TTY consoles, too?

[abzs]

And I ALSO love the way he zooms in so we can see the tiny font

Again great job 😂

[bobbybologna]

Lol I've always wanted to do this but I just never felt researching it, I would keep it ugly, put some colors on my prompt and put my git branch indicator in there and just live with it 😆. Glad for the script, I won't run it but I can look through it and see what you're doing which I like better than reading documentation because... like I said I'm lazy haha

Apparently on the current version of the beautiful bash the bashrc file is replaced. The error did not pop up for me. Also it set up as default editor vim. Personally I am not familiar with vim, so it was a bit frustrating when found out. Hopefully it was easy to fix by just commenting out the section on bashrc about the default editor.

Would be much appreciated if you could do a universal guide on your bspwm config. I wanted to get into tiling managers for quite a while and this would be the perfect start.

Hi Chris!! is there anyway to take the greek letters out? other than that seems good, thanks for the work!

[peterwassmuth]

hi Chris. what are you thinking about Stratis File System.

[JeremiahSlattery]

I've been trying to reproduce this on Arch and not doing well. Do you have any thoughts/ideas?

[DCkn]

Hey, thanks for the Guide!

one weird thing: does your script change the timezone of the timestamp behind every command? i'm located in germany and my timestamp is 8h behind my time 😄
