<details>
<summary><strong>What gets installed</strong></summary>

### Linux / WSL

- Installs the prompt module to `/etc/profile.d/ps1.sh`
- Installs the banner module to `/etc/profile.d/banner.sh`
- Sources both from `/etc/bash.bashrc`
- Installs `landscape-common`, `figlet`, and `lolcat` if missing
- Prompts for the global punchline used by the banner
- You can change the selection or remove PS1/banner by running the installer again

### macOS

- Copies `ps1/ps1.sh` to `~/.config/ps1/ps1.sh`
- Adds a source block in `~/.bashrc` and `~/.bash_profile`

</details>

---

<details>
<summary><strong>PS1 module (when it runs)</strong></summary>

- Linux/WSL: sourced from `/etc/bash.bashrc` (global)
- macOS: sourced from `~/.bashrc` and `~/.bash_profile` (per-user)

You normally do not need to run `ps1.sh` manually.
</details>

---

<details>
<summary><strong>Banner (hostname + punchline + sysinfo)</strong></summary>

On Linux/WSL, a banner is also shown on login:

- `figlet $(hostname) -c | lolcat`
- `figlet -f digital "<punchline>" -c | lolcat`
- `landscape-sysinfo | lolcat`

### Punchline (global)

The banner reads the punchline from:

- `/etc/ps1-punchline`

The install script prompts for a punchline and stores it in the file. You can also set it manually:

```bash
echo "Your punchline" | sudo tee /etc/ps1-punchline >/dev/null
```
</details>

## 🎛️ Themes & Style Packs

### 🏁 Contest Pack

The contest pack is a bold, DEFCON-ready set of five styles (Aurora, Neon, Forge, Circuit, Mono) with optional layout order. It always starts on a new line and ends with `@host - /path`.

Note: This repo was built with AI assistance, and the contest pack itself is fully AI-authored.

<details>
<summary><strong>Git Theme (details)</strong></summary>

The Git theme adds a repo-aware capsule on line 2 that only appears inside a Git repo. The branch name is wrapped as `⟦branch⟧`, and status emojis reflect state:

- Clean: ✨
- Dirty: 🔨
- Staged: 📌
- Untracked: 🧷
- Stashed: 📦

It uses the same two-block layout as Aurora, but focuses on signal and minimal noise for fast scanning. Use it when you want repo status on every command without a full VCS prompt.

Git capsule switch:

- `PS1_GIT=1` enables the git capsule on all themes
- Git theme always shows it, regardless of `PS1_GIT`
</details>

---

<details>
<summary><strong>Holidays Pack (themes)</strong></summary>

Holidays pack uses themed palettes + emojis and the contest layout order:

- Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentine, Thanksgiving, New Year
</details>

---

<details>
<summary><strong>Emoji palette</strong></summary>

Fixed times (all seasons):

- Lunch 11:00–11:29 = 🥪
- Dinner 16:00–16:59 = 🍲

Seasonal sets (sunrise / work):

- Spring: 🌷 🌱 🐣 🌤 / 🌿 🪴 🐝 🌼
- Summer: 🌞 🏖️ 🌅 🌤 / 🏄 🏖️ 🚤 🌴
- Autumn: 🍁 🍂 🌫️ 🌦️ / 🍂 🍄 🎃 🪵

- Work: 11:30–15:59 (unless lunch overrides)
- Evening: 17:00–22:59
- Night: 23:00–04:59

Meaning:

- Emoji is a light accent for time/season; it never replaces core info

<details>
<summary><strong>Overrides (Optional)</strong></summary>

Sometimes autodetection doesn’t work (e.g., on macOS without fontconfig):

Force Nerd Font glyphs:

```bash
export PS1_FORCE_NF=1
```

Force fallback (no powerline glyphs):

```bash
export PS1_FORCE_ASCII=1
```

Add these to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.bash_profile`.
</details>

---

<details>
<summary><strong>Disable prompt (per user)</strong></summary>

If you want to disable the global prompt for your account:

Temporarily in a shell:

```bash
export DISABLE_GLOBAL_PS1=1
```

Permanently:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/ps1
touch ~/.config/ps1/disable
```

To re-enable:

```bash
rm -f ~/.config/ps1/disable
```
</details>

---

<details>
<summary><strong>Testing</strong></summary>

After install, open a new shell and run:

```bash
bash -i -c 'echo OK'
```

If you see a prompt with colors and emoji, things are working.
</details>

---

<details>
<summary><strong>Usage notes</strong></summary>

Font matters: even with Nerd Fonts installed, you must select them in your terminal settings.

Works on terminals like:

- GNOME Terminal
- iTerm2
- Kitty
- VS Code integrated terminal
- Windows Terminal (WSL)

If you see squares or missing glyphs, your terminal is likely using a non-Nerd font.

## 🔥 Why this is real high-end PS1 design

- Semantic color use (identity vs location)
- Few colors, but with meaning
- Path is visible, but never dominant
- Emoji is an accent, not a gimmick
- Prompt line is calm → the command gets focus

### 🎨 Color palette (notes)

| Role | BG | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Zone 1 BG | 61 | gray-blue pastel |
| Zone 1 FG | 255 | pure white |
| Zone 2 BG | 37 | turquoise / cool green |
| Path FG | 194 (FG) | light green, muted |
| Frame | 60 | darker blue |
