cf-sh-prompt

Show in the shell prompt where the Cloud Foundry CLI is currently pointing.

graham:~ [https://api.run.pivotal.io]$

Currently tested on bash, with an aspiration to work in zsh.

Installing and using

Copy the file cf-sh-prompt from this repository to somewhere on your machine.

Run the following commands at your shell prompt in order to try the prompt out

. /path/to/cf-sh-prompt
PS1="\u:\W \[\$(__cf_org)/\$(__cf_space)\]\$ "

You would expect the output to contain your username, working directory CF org & space. Like this:

graham:cf-sh-prompt [paas-demo/sandbox]$

If you change the org or space that the CF command line points to, the prompt will change too:

cf target -o backend -s production
...
graham:cf-sh-prompt [backend/production]$

To ensure that every shell opened from now onwards uses that prompt, add those lines to your shell initialisation file, for example .bashrc.
