App-PS1

Sick of the boring BASH shell command prompt, want more information displayedi App-PS1 does this.

It provides a nice way of addind a line sepperator for your prompt which you can fill with various peices of information like the directory, status of the last command and more.

The app-ps1 command displays the elements put into either $APP_PS1 environment variable or passed with --ps1 parameter. The elements are all calculated and if one more more has no content (eg branch, perl, node or ruby) it is removed and all the rest are show. If there is too much to display on the line (requires Term::Size::Any or $PS1_COLS environment variable to be set) the elements from the right are dropped until the line would fit.

Examples

   # in your ~/.bashrc file
   export APP_PS1='face;branch;date;direcory;perl;node;ruby;uptime'
   export PS1="\[\`app-ps1 -e\$?\`\]\n\u@\h \\\$ "

Basic:

After running $ perlbrew use perl-bleed

After running $ nvm use v0.12.4
