I love the idea of a colorized prompt by default on Fedora!
A few points to the posted example:
- Let's keep it somewhat identical to the existing one unless a change is really
important
- Let's leave out the RC code from the prompt - that can be useful in certain
scenarios, but is distracting/annoying most of the time
- Keep the path part of the prompt a different color
Something like this perhaps, which is close to the current prompt, only with the addition
of useful colors. I personally like the default colors here too, because they work well:
PROMPT_COLOR=""
PROMPT_PATH_COLOR=""
PS1="[\[\e[${PROMPT_COLOR:-1;32}m\]\u@\h\[\e[0m\]
\[\e[${PROMPT_PATH_COLOR:-1;34}m\]\w\[\e[0m\]]\$ "
Cheers
