Multi-server, multi-container shell prompt customizations

Features

  • Same prompt, functions, and tweaks on all servers connected to via SSH.

  • Automatic search and excution of commands with the new _ command. (I.e. _ ssh for a list of all the servers you have previously conected)

  • Current git branch displayed as part of the prompt.

  • System load displayed as a part of shell title

  • Random colors for each server's hostname in prompt (Switched using regenerate).

  • Unique colors for each file type with ls output

  • A hexadecimal unix timestamp of each prompt aligned to the right. (Converted to human readable time using hextime)

  • Easily search history using up/down arrows as you type.

  • Automatically updated on all servers during session start.

  • Automatic monthly backups of shell history.

Installation Instructions

Just back up your old ~/.bashrc and download the new file from this repository:

cp ~/.bashrc{,.old}; wget -O ~/.bashrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inferont/shell-scripts/master/.bashrc

If you don't have Wget, try Curl:

cp ~/.bashrc{,.old}; curl -o ~/.bashrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inferont/shell-scripts/master/.bashrc

Restoring from Backup

Assuming you created a backup, as mentioned in the above section, this can be done with another simple one-liner, provided you've not messed with or deleted the backed-up file:

mv ~/.bashrc.old ~/.bashrc

Development/Customization

  • Customize this prompt for your own needs by forking this project and updating the .bashrc and .commonrc URLs.
  • A generic configuration section for multiple users may be introduced in the future.
