LIQUIDPROMPT
NAME
liquidprompt - A full-featured & carefully designed adaptive prompt for bash & zsh
DESCRIPTION
Liquid Prompt
gives you a nicely displayed prompt with useful information
when you need it. It shows you what you need when you need
it. You will notice what changes when it changes, saving
time and frustration.
You can even use it with your favorite shell â
bash(1) or zsh(1).
ACTIVATION
The liquidprompt package has no way to know which users do you want this prompt to be active for. A small script, liquidprompt_activate is included to ease activation of the prompt.
This will set the required environment:
|
* The files ˜/.bashrc and/or ˜/.zshrc are modified to load liquidprompt at startup. | ||
|
* If no previous ˜/.config/liquidpromptrc file exists, it will be created. |
So, to get liquidprompt working simply run:
|
user@debian:˜$ liquidprompt_activate | |
|
user@debian:˜$ source ˜/.bashrc |
Be aware that multiple invocations of the liquidprompt_activate command may pollute ˜/.bashrc and/or ˜/.zshrc files.
FUNCTIONS
Once
liquidprompt has been loaded, you will have 4 new commands
available (which are shell functions actually).
liquidprompt_tag tag
tag current shell liquidprompt with tag.
liquidprompt_OFF
use an empty prompt, just the $ mark.
liquidprompt_off

CONFIGURATION

/usr/share/doc/liquidprompt/ and the file
˜/.config/liquidpromptrc as well.
