Highly configurable prompt decoration for ZSH and Bash written in Python. It's inspired by the Oh My ZSH Bullet Train theme.
Works well on Linux (Terminator, Konsole, Gnome Terminal) and Mac (Terminal, iTerm). It has no other dependencies than Python (v2.x or v3.x) and its standard libraries.
On Arch Linux:
yaourt -S pbt
# For ZSH
PROMPT='$(pbt $?)'
# For Bash
PS1='$(pbt $?)'
or on Mac via brew
:
brew tap jtyr/repo
brew install pbt
# For ZSH
PROMPT='$(pbt $?)'
# For Bash
PS1='$(pbt $?)'
or via PyPi:
pip install pbt
# For ZSH
PROMPT='$(pbt $?)'
# For Bash
PS1='$(pbt $?)'
or directly from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/jtyr/python-bullettrain.git ~/pbt
# For ZSH
PROMPT='$(~/pbt/pbt.py $?)'
# For Bash
PS1='$(~/pbt/pbt.py $?)'
In order to display all colors correctly, the terminal should use 256 color scheme:
export TERM="xterm-256color"
In order to display all characters of the prompt correctly, the shell should support UTF-8 and Nerd (or at least Powerline) fonts should be installed and set in the terminal application.
### Test the Status car
false
true
### Test the Dir car
cd /
cd /usr/share/doc/sudo
# Display only last 3 elements of the path
export PBT_CAR_DIR_DEPTH="3"
# Display full path
export PBT_CAR_DIR_DEPTH="9999"
# Show only last element of the path
unset PBT_CAR_DIR_DEPTH
cd ~
### Test Time car
# Add the Time car into the train
export PBT_CARS="Status, Os, Time, Hostname, Dir, Sign"
# Set 12h format
export PBT_CAR_TIME_TIME_FORMAT="%I:%M:%S %p"
# Change background color of the all car
export PBT_CAR_TIME_BG="yellow"
# Change color of Date part
export PBT_CAR_TIME_DATE_FG="black"
# Reset the color of the Date part
unset PBT_CAR_TIME_DATE_FG
# Reset the background color of all Time car
unset PBT_CAR_TIME_BG
# Remove the Date part from the car
export PBT_CAR_TIME_FORMAT=" {{ Time }} "
# Reset the format of the car
unset PBT_CAR_TIME_FORMAT
# Reset the original train
unset PBT_CARS

The prompt (train) is assembled from several elements (cars). The look and behavior of whole train as well as each car can be influenced by a set of environment variables. Majority of the
The value of all _BG
and _FG
variables defines the background and
foreground color of the particular element. The value of the color can be
specified in 3 ways:
Only a limited number of named colors is supported:
black
red
green
yellow
blue
magenta
cyan
light_gray
dark_gray
light_red
light_green
light_yellow
light_blue
light_magenta
light_cyan
white
default
(default color of the terminal)
Examples:
# Set the background color of the `Dir` car to red
export PBT_CAR_DIR_BG="red"
# Set the foreground color of the `Dir` car to white
export PBT_CAR_DIR_FG="white"
Color can also by expressed by a single number in the range from 0
to
255
. The color of each number in that range is visible in the 256-color
lookup table on
Wikipedia. The named
colors described above are the first 16 numbers from the lookup table.
Examples:
# Set the background color of the `Dir` car to red
export PBT_CAR_DIR_BG="1"
# Set the foreground color of the `Dir` car to white
export PBT_CAR_DIR_FG="15"
Arbitrary color can be expressed in the form of RGB triplet.
Examples:
# Set the background color of the `Dir` car to red
export PBT_CAR_DIR_BG="170;0;0"
# Set the foreground color of the `Dir` car to white
export PBT_CAR_DIR_FG="255;255;255"
Formatting is done via _FM
variables. The possible values are:
-
bold
Makes the text bold. Not all font characters have variant for bold formatting.
-
underline
Makes the text underlined.
-
blink
Makes the text to blink.
-
none
No formatting applied.
Example:
# Set the directory name to be bold export PBT_CAR_DIR_FM="bold"
-
PBT_CARS="Status, Os, Hostname, Dir, Git, Sign"
List of cars used in the train. The car name must be the same as the filename without the extension in the
pbt/cars/
directory.To add a new car into the train, the whole variable must be redefined. For example in order to add the
Time
car into the default set of cars between theOs
andHostname
car, the variable should look like this:export PBT_CARS="Status, Os, Time, Hostname, Dir, Git, Sign"
-
PBT_RCARS="Time"
The same like
PBT_CARS
but for the right hand side prompt.# Add the Custom car into the right hand site car to have the separator visible export PBT_RCARS="Custom, Time" # Make the Custom car to be invisible (zero length text) export PBT_CAR_CUSTOM_BG="default" export PBT_CAR_CUSTOM_FORMAT="" # Show only time export PBT_CAR_TIME_FORMAT=" {{ Time }} " # Set the right hand side prompt (ZSH only) export RPROMPT='$(pbt -r)'

-

It's also possible to compile the script into a binary executable file which
should make it run about 10-20% faster. For that we will need a tool called
freeze
which we can find in the Python
source tree:
git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git -b "v$(python --version 2>&1 | grep -Po '.* \K\d.*')" --depth 1 /tmp/cpython
Then we can compile it:
python /tmp/cpython/Tools/freeze/freeze.py pbt.py
make
That will create a binary file pbt
which can be used in the PROMPT
environment variable instead of the Python script as shown above.
The compilation process sometimes incorrectly recognizes where Python's libraries are exactly installed. Then we can get errors like this:
Error: needed directory /usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m not found
and
gcc: error: /usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m/libpython3.6m.so: No such file or directory
That can be solved by symlinks:
ln -s /usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m{-x86_64-linux-gnu,}
and
ln -s /usr/lib/{libpython3.6m.so,python3.6/config-3.6m/}
