Highly configurable prompt decoration for ZSH and Bash written in Python. It'sinspired by the Oh My ZSHBulletTrain theme.

Works well on Linux (Terminator, Konsole, Gnome Terminal) and Mac (Terminal,iTerm). It has no other dependencies than Python (v2.x or v3.x) and itsstandard libraries.

Installation

On Arch Linux:

or on Mac via brew:

or via PyPi:

or directly from GitHub:

In order to display all colors correctly, the terminal should use 256 colorscheme:

In order to display all characters of the prompt correctly, the shell shouldsupport UTF-8 and Nerd (or at leastPowerline) fonts shouldbe installed and set in the terminal application.

Usage

Configuration

The prompt (train) is assembled from several elements (cars). The look andbehavior of whole train as well as each car can be influenced by a set ofenvironment variables. Majority of the

Colors

The value of all _BG and _FG variables defines the background andforeground color of the particular element. The value of the color can bespecified in 3 ways:

Color name

Only a limited number of named colors is supported:

• black
• red
• green
• yellow
• blue
• magenta
• cyan
• light_gray
• dark_gray
• light_red
• light_green
• light_yellow
• light_blue
• light_magenta
• light_cyan
• white
• default (default color of the terminal)

Examples:

Color number

Color can also by expressed by a single number in the range from 0 to255. The color of each number in that range is visible in the 256-colorlookup table onWikipedia. The namedcolors described above are the first 16 numbers from the lookup table.

Examples:

RGB number

Arbitrary color can be expressed in the form of RGB triplet.

Examples:

Formatting

Formatting is done via _FM variables. The possible values are:

• bold

  Makes the text bold. Not all font characters have variant for bold formatting.

• underline

  Makes the text underlined.

• blink

  Makes the text to blink.

• none

  No formatting applied.

  Example:

Train variables

• PBT_CARS='Status, Os, Hostname, Dir, Git, Sign'

  List of cars used in the train. The car name must be the same as the filenamewithout the extension in the pbt/cars/ directory.

  To add a new car into the train, the whole variable must be redefined. Forexample in order to add the Time car into the default set of cars betweenthe Os and Hostname car, the variable should look like this:

• PBT_RCARS='Time'

  The same like PBT_CARS but for the right hand side prompt.

Compilation

It's also possible to compile the script into a binary executable file whichshould make it run about 10-20% faster. For that we will need a tool calledfreeze which we can find in the Pythonsource tree:

Then we can compile it:

That will create a binary file pbt which can be used in the PROMPTenvironment variable instead of the Python script as shown above.

The compilation process sometimes incorrectly recognizes where Python's librariesare exactly installed. Then we can get errors like this:

and

That can be solved by symlinks:

While installing docker, I decided I needed to write some notifications to ensure the configuration works. See Docker. I started with a TCL/TK script, which these days looks a bit old school, and writing the packer was (& remains) difficult. Virtualbox reports its status on Ubuntu via a very pretty interface, prettier than Apple script anyway, so I thought I’d have a lock.

The command is notify-send. This is part of the desktop, obviously not needed if running headless.

It comes with some standard icons, somewhere in the /usr/share/icons directories, allegedly, I made myself a docker icon, .png 32×32 to decorate the message.

I found it on google, and replaced the white background with transparency. It’s not ideal, maybe I should find something better. Here’s a screen shot,

I plan to put this in my .profile; or somewhere else if that doesn’t work on a graphic login. This article on stackexchange addresses how to run a script on GNOME login.

I came across another use case and needed it to run on an elementary OS systems. The version of notification used by elementary seems to have some differences. I installed notify-osd and then copied the icon I wanted to use to /usr/share/icons. The icon is then referred to by its file name prefix.

Installing on Raspbian; installing notify-send on Raspbian. Stranger than expected.
