# pretty-exit-status.sh

Shell include that shows the status of the last-executed process

To use:

1) Save `pretty-exit-status.sh` somewhere sensible.

(e.g., `~/.pretty_exit_status.sh`)

2) In your `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile` add the following:

```

source ~/.pretty_exit_status.sh

```

(or wherever you saved the script)

3) Later on in that same `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile`,

put the following somewhere in the `PS1` variable:

```

$(pretty_exit_status $?)

```

For example, if you just want to prefix your current prompt,

just do:

```

export PS1='$(pretty_exit_status $?)\n'$PS1

```

That’s it! :)
