An /etc/profile.d settings file creating a fancy prompt.

Fancy bash prompt

An /etc/profile.d file creating a fancy bash prompt.

Install

sudo cp fancy_prompt.sh /etc/profile.d

If you are on Ubuntu, that seems to currently ship with another script in /etc/profile.d/ that kills any PROMPT_COMMAND modifications by simply overwriting them. In that case, just add source /etc/profile.d/fancy_prompt.sh to your .bashrc file.

While inspired by an article in the ArchLinux wiki that is under the GNU FDL, I believe that this version is sufficiently different to release it under the MIT license.
