## What is a Bash Prompt?
2814

29-
## See also
15+
The prompt is a short piece of text that is displayed in the Bash shell prompting you to enter a command.
16+
17+
![Bash Prompt Example](./docs/bash_prompt_example.png)
18+
19+
It usually contains some useful information about the current user, the working directory, etc.
20+
21+
## Where is the Prompt Configured?
22+
23+
The `PS1` environment variable determines what information the prompt contains and how it is displayed.
24+
25+
![Echo $PS1](./docs/bash_echo_ps1.png)
26+
27+
The default value may vary between different distributions and versions.
28+
29+
Setting the `PS1` variable yourself (e.&nbsp;g. by appending the line `PS1='[\u@\h \w]\$ '` to your `~/.bashrc` file) allows you to customize your prompt.
30+
31+
## How is the Prompt Configured?
32+
33+
The syntax of the `PS1` variable allows versatile customization options.
34+
In addition to the information displayed, colors as well as other display attributes can be adjusted.
35+
36+
However, this syntax is difficult to read by humans and manual customization is therefore extremely tedious.
37+
38+
For this reason, this project provides a way to create a prompt via a GUI without having to modify the PS1 variable itself.
39+

## How to Use
46+
47+
### Getting Started
48+
49+
When you visit the [website](https://bash-prompt-generator.org) for the first time, you have the option to either create a new prompt from scratch or import your current prompt for adjustment.
50+
51+
![Website First View](./docs/bash_prompt_generator_initial.png)
52+
53+
A prompt consists of multiple so-called *elements*.
54+
You can click on one of the elements on the left (*Prompt Elements*) to add it to your prompt.
55+
If you choose to import your existing prompt, paste the output of `echo $PS1` (e.&nbsp;g. `[\u@\h \w]\$ `) into the text field and the according elements will be automatically added to your prompt.
56+
57+
### Your Prompt
58+
59+
The *Your Prompt* sections lists all elements that are currently part of your prompt.
60+
61+
![Your Prompt](./docs/bash_prompt_generator_your_prompt.png)
62+
63+
You can always add more elements from the *Prompt Elements* section on the left, reorder the elements in your prompt using drag and drop or remove them.
64+
65+
The trash icon will remove all elements from your prompt, letting you start from scratch.
66+
67+
The command for setting the `PS1` variable is displayed in the *Output* section, along with an example preview of how your prompt might look like.
68+
69+
![Output](./docs/bash_prompt_generator_output.png)
70+
71+
The clipboard icon will copy the full command to your clipboard.
72+
73+
If you run the generated command in your terminal, you will immediately see the changes to your prompt.
74+
These changes will be lost when you close your terminal, however.
75+
In order to make the changes permanent, you have to add the command to your `~/.bashrc` file.
76+
77+
Note that the preview will most likely differ from the actual prompt in your terminal because the environment (such as the current user, hostname, etc.) is different.
78+
79+
You can click on the lightbulb icon to toggle between a dark and a light background for the preview.
80+
81+
### Properties
82+
83+
All elements can be selected by clicking on them.
84+
85+
![Selected](./docs/bash_prompt_generator_selected.png)
86+
87+
Depending on the type of the selected element, different properties can be adjusted.
88+
89+
![Properties](./docs/bash_prompt_generator_properties.png)
90+
91+
Most elements support colors and various display attributes.
92+
93+
Look at the example preview to see how these properties affect the prompt.

99+
The color picker provides a *no color* option for resetting to the default color, 16 4-bit colors (top row) and 256 8-bit colors (bottom rows).
100+
101+
Note that some terminals may not support all colors.
102+
The same applies to display attributes.
103+
104+
Additionally, you can duplicate the selected element with the copy icon under *Actions*.

#### Special Elements
107+
108+
Some element types have special properties:
109+
110+
* *Date (formatted)* requires a string specifying the date format which will be passed to [`strftime(3)`](https://linux.die.net/man/3/strftime "man 3 strftime").
111+
* *Command* requires a string specifying the command to be executed.
112+
The prompt will contain the standard output of the command.
113+
* The *Git branch* and *IP Address* elements are functionally equivalent to a *Command* element with the command already filled in.
114+
* *Text* requires an arbitrary string that will be included as is in the prompt.
