PS1Palette

PS1Palette is a Bash script designed to simplify the process of customising the command prompt (PS1) in Bash. It allows users to easily change the colour of their terminal prompt without needing to understand the complex syntax of PS1 colour codes.

Examples

Features

• Easy to Use: Just select the colour and the script does the rest.
• Customisable: Offers full and segmented colouring options for your PS1.
• Colour Options: Includes standard, bold, bright, and bold-bright colour variations.
• Safe: Echoes changes to the .bashrc file, allowing easy reversion to original settings.

Usage

1. Clone the repository or download the ps1palette.sh script.

git clone https://github.com/WDoyle123/ps1palette.git

2. Make the script executable:

chmod +x ps1palette.sh

3. Run the script: ./ps1palette.sh
4. Choose between full or segmented colouring options.
5. For full colouring, select a colour for the entire PS1.
6. For segmented colouring, select colours for each segment (Username, Hostname, Directory, Prompt Symbol).
7. Confirm to apply changes to your current session and save them to .bashrc.

Colour Prefixes

Notes and Disclaimer
