I was curious as to what prompts people find are the best for development? I’m looking for a change from the generic debian:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
Which yields:
dell-xps-13@pop-os:~$

I use zsh for my shell, with
powerlevel10k
as my prompt. It’s gorgeous and has an interactice condigurator on first start. It includes stuff like git repo branch and status, python venv, aws profile… I’ve used it for years and loved it the whole time.- Andy ( @Andy@programming.dev ) 8•11 months ago
No doubt p10k is excellent, and the dev knows what he’s doing and helps others a lot.
Another great zsh prompt with a simpler implementation is agkozak’s: https://github.com/agkozak/agkozak-zsh-prompt

Personally, I like starship, and how it’s consistent across different shells. I mostly use defaults, but with line break before command.

I wasn’t aware of starship. It looks great and even supports Powershell! Do you have any font recommendations to go along with it?
- quixoticWoodpecker ( @quixoticWoodpecker@mander.xyz ) 4•11 months ago
I use Fira Code, but any font patched with Nerd Fonts will do.

I wrote my own! But you probably don’t want to use it, I am sure it only works for me. But hey! It was fun! https://github.com/e2dubba/liteprompt

I have randomized oh-my-zsh prompts when using zsh, and the default starship prompt when using bash

Do you have a random oh-my-zsh prompt everytime you use zsh? That sounds maddening haha, what’s the appeal?
- Miku Luna \ she/it ( @backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 6•11 months ago
Like many things, I have no idea why I’m doing it.

Sounds fun! 😊

What’s a Linux prompt

I use Liquid Prompt with the powerline theme.
