I don’t see a ‘#’ option there. It’s a valuable command line inclusion to keep copypasta from executing something you may not intend. Also, the ability to check what branch I’m in (assuming cwd is in a git repo) is a useful prompt inclusion.

Re: Bash PS1 Generator
#92Seeing '>' as an option makes it somewhat relevant to mention here: I'd recommend not ending your prompt with a '>' character (as you'd see in DOS/Windows a lot, which might make it seem like a nice option). If you accidentally copy and paste your prompt with a command after it, (which is easy to do with a couple mouse clicks, or if you forget what's in your clipboard after copying some lines from your terminal,) the first thing after the > sign is the file for a script or executable and you will truncate the file (make it 0 bytes). This can be especially bad if you're root at the time. (That makes # as a root prompt especially a good idea.)

#93current git branch is missing (helps me to avoid working on the wrong branch). (tried to do it with colors, but things got too messy). I never managed to work with colors in bash propmts; they look different on each environment. parse_git_branch() { git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/' } PS1="[\u@\h \W\$(parse_git_branch)]\$ "
Nowadays there's the `--show-current` option:
git branch --show-current

#94Re: Bash PS1 Generator
#95I think there's a bug, at least in Firefox. When you drag to remove an element from the currently active set, the "sample output" only updates after making _another_ change. So if you drag to remove two elements one-at-a-time, the "sample output" will lag one action behind what you have in the workspace.

Because it doesn't use TLS, this allows any miscreant in the middle to injected JS doing god-knows-what into my browser. If you really insist (in this case IMO understandable) on having me download and run your program, written in a turing complete scripting languag…
But no one is insisting.

Wiktionary is a website that has improved functionality after turning on JavaScript, but works just fine without it. It does not insist on using JavaScript.
I guess what you actually mean is "no one is insisting on me looking at their website"? That would be true, but I don't recall making any contrary claims.
If I do want to look at a website, the site insists on using JavaScript, but does not use HTTPS, that can be a security issue. That's what my original comment tries to point out.

#97Use https://starship.rs/ abs get the same prompt in all your shells. Also it’s written in rust, so it’s faster than a load of bash scripts.
Absolutely a quality of life tool. Very few excuses left to put up with zsh + Oh-My-Zash.

I mean, the other alternative is just keep your prompt simple. ;-)

This is the PS1 I've been using for a long time:
export PS1="\n\$(kube_ps1)\n\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[0;31m\]\$(__git_ps1)\n\$\[\033[00m\] "
Note it needs the git-prompt.sh script (usually comes with the bash-completion package), and the kube-ps1 script: https://github.com/jonmosco/kube-ps1
It will show you the current kubernetes profile and namespace, user@host, current directory and git branch if you're in a git repo.
