Customise your linux prompt

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Anton Piatek

If you use a Linux or Unix box with bash or zsh, and you haven’t come across Liquid Prompt, then I suggest you head there right now to install it. I’m loving having more info on the status line, especially near code version control, but even having cpu load and temperature along with battery life right under where I am typing is really useful

    Nice but I don’t like the fact that it corrupts $_ which I tend to use quite a bit (for things like “cp sample.conf real.conf ; vi $_”).

    Never used $_
    I do use $! Quite a lot though
