Bashrc Dotfiles — Global & Portable Bash Prompt

Production-ready on main.

Elegant, portable, and easy-to-install Bash prompt with:

✨ Two color zones
🌅 Time-based emoji accents
🖥️ Fallback when Nerd Fonts aren’t available
📍 Shortened but informative path
🔘 Status-colored prompt arrow
🧠 Works on Linux, WSL, and macOS

🚀 Install

🐧 Linux / WSL (global, all users)

Clone the repo:

git clone <repo-url>

Enter the folder:

cd Bashrc

Run the global installer (auto-installs deps + prompts for punchline):

sudo bash dotfiles/install/install-linux-global.sh

Open a new shell to see the prompt and banner.

🍏 macOS (per-user)

Clone the repo:

git clone <repo-url>

Enter the folder:

cd Bashrc

Run the user installer:

bash dotfiles/install/install-macos-user.sh

Reload your shell (or open a new terminal):

source ~/.bashrc

🖼️ Nerd Fonts (optional but recommended)

bash dotfiles/install/install-nerdfont.sh

After install:

Open your terminal settings
Set font to JetBrainsMono Nerd Font (or any Nerd Font)
Terminal must use a Nerd Font for glyphs like , ,  to render correctly
Manual download: https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

Installer choices

Linux/WSL:

PS1 only / Banner only / Both
PS1 modes: Single season, Dynamic season, Contest pack, Holidays pack

macOS:

PS1 modes: Single season, Dynamic season, Contest pack, Holidays pack

What gets installed

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

PS1 module (when it runs)

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.

Banner (hostname + punchline + sysinfo)

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:

echo "Your punchline" | sudo tee /etc/ps1-punchline >/dev/null

🧠 Features

Clean, modern powerline-style prompt
Zone 1: date/time/user (cool gray-blue)
Zone 2: host/path (turquoise / cool green)
Automatically switches emoji during the day
Smart path shortening (keeps your home dir visible)
Fallback to ASCII/Unicode if Nerd Fonts are not installed
Per-user disable support
Simple per-user or global install

🎛️ 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.

Git Theme (details)

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.

Holidays Pack (themes)

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

Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentine, Thanksgiving, New Year

Emoji palette

Fixed times (all seasons):

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

Seasonal sets (sunrise / work):

Spring: 🌷 🌱 🐣 🌤 / 🌿 🪴 🐝 🌼
Summer: 🌞 🏖️ 🌅 🌤 / 🏄 🏖️ 🚤 🌴
Autumn: 🍁 🍂 🌫️ 🌦️ / 🍂 🍄 🎃 🪵
Winter: 🏔️ 🌨️ ❄️ 🌌 / 🎿 ⛷️ 🏂 🧊

Overrides (Optional)

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

Force Nerd Font glyphs:

export PS1_FORCE_NF=1

Force fallback (no powerline glyphs):

export PS1_FORCE_ASCII=1

Add these to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.

Disable prompt (per user)

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

Temporarily in a shell:

export DISABLE_GLOBAL_PS1=1

Permanently:

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

To re-enable:

rm -f ~/.config/ps1/disable

Testing

After install, open a new shell and run:

bash -i -c 'echo OK'

If you see a prompt with colors and emoji, things are working.

Usage notes

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.

📸 Example Prompt

This prompt shows:

With exit-status colored arrow and emoji reflecting time of day.

🔥 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
