I’m looking for inspiration for a custom Bash prompt[1]. I’d love to see yours! 😊 If possible, include both the prompt’s PS1
, and a screenshot/example of what it looks like.

Fish is a really great shell for daily use. There’s so much built in, its scripting language is better (not portable though if someone else does not have fish).
By now, enough people have fish that you can basically assume those scripts being “portable”. Far better than nushell or xonsh - which are both pretty advanced shells but other tools lack support for them, e.g. Midnight Commander.
Am I a loser if I stick to POSIX?
