Okay

I think it would be nicer if we played around with several options and
have the user have a simple way of choosing.

They can set PROMPT_COLOR to change coloring immediately.

But it would be nice to have a configuration tool/UI some day.

There are many variants, some using git info, some using exit codes and so...

Exit code is already handled in the current implementation.

I would like to make it more extensible in the future...

But I made a criteria that this simple MVP should not use PROMPT_COMMAND

nor should the default PS1 cause any external process to run by default.

So anyway this Change is not setting the bar very high, by design:

there are certainly lots of more powerful solutions around

like powerline or starship etc, and this Change is not competing with them. :-)

The hope is that a simple conservative solution like this would be broadly acceptable as a desktop default.
