<h2>Bash prompt without scripts</h2>
<h3>2025-05-06</h3>
<h4>A pretty prompt in one line of my .bashrc</h4>
<p>I tried several bash prompt scripts but returned to just having a single line in my .bashrc</p>
<pre>
export PS1='\[\e[30;102m\] \A \[\e[92;103m\]\[\e[30m\] \u@\h \[\e[93;107m\]\[\e[30m\] \w \[\e[0;97m\]\n\[\e[0m\]\$ '
</pre>
<p><a href="https://bash-prompt-generator.org/">This site is a great generator</a></p>
<p>I used the base 16 colour palette so that it ends up displayed using the Pywal16 terminal palette.</p>
