Promptly

What is it?

An easier way to customize your bash command prompt, borne out of a frustration with the current way. If you just want a cool prompt, but don't want to deal with crazy strings of escape sequences and cryptic color codes, Promptly is for you.

TL;DR

Don't know what this means?

"\[\033[1;34m\][\$(date +%H%M)][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\] "

Promptly is for you.
