|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 🚀 Install
|
||
|
||
### 🐧 Linux / WSL (global, all users)
|
||
|
||
1) Clone the repo:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone <repo-url>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2) Enter the folder:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd Bashrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3) Run the global installer (auto-installs deps + prompts for punchline):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo bash dotfiles/install/install-linux-global.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4) Open a new shell to see the prompt and banner.
|
||
|
||
### 🍏 macOS (per-user)
|
||
|
||
1) Clone the repo:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone <repo-url>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2) Enter the folder:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd Bashrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3) Run the user installer:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
bash dotfiles/install/install-macos-user.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4) Reload your shell (or open a new terminal):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
source ~/.bashrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 🖼️ Nerd Fonts (optional but recommended)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
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

<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
|
||
```

## 🎛️ 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>
|
||
<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

<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`.

<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
|
||
```

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.

|

<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
|
||
|
||
