No part of the code in this repository has been written by or in consultation with artificial intelligence chatbots such as (but not limited to) Bard and ChatGPT.
These are the configuration files I use on Linux, macOS and Windows to set up a consistent development environment.
custom-prompt contains code to create a prompt for Bash or Zsh with information about the current
Git repository (from __git_ps1) and the current Python virtual environment, and report the running time of long
commands. A session may typically look like
┌[tfpf Alpine ~/Documents/projects/dotfiles] main
└─% pipenv shell
┌[tfpf Alpine ~/Documents/projects/dotfiles] main % dotfiles
└─▶% exit
pipenv shell 00:43.735
┌[tfpf Alpine ~/Documents/projects/dotfiles] main %
└─%but with colours. (The number of right-pointing triangles just before the prompt symbol is one less than the current shell level.) If the terminal is not the active window when a long command terminates, a desktop notification will also be sent; this is done using OSC 777 on macOS and Windows, and libnotify on Linux. (Needless to say, on Linux, X11 is assumed, since there is no server to query the active window on Wayland.)
All symbols may not be rendered correctly above. If you see vertical hollow rectangles (or other substitute characters), you may want to install a patched font from Nerd Fonts.
To actually get the custom prompt in Bash or Zsh, compile the code to obtain custom-bash-prompt and
custom-zsh-prompt (or download them from the latest release),
copy/move them to a directory which is in PATH, and use them as done in .bash_aliases or
.zshrc.
