# Bash *full of colors*

Powerful `.bashrc` and `.bash_profile` coming together with colorful output. It adds additional information

to your command prompt and many useful aliases.

Features:

* shows number of active background jobs

* shows number of open *screen* sockets

* *hostname* color is based on host unique identifier to simplify server identification by the user when working with multiple open SSH sessions

* shows checked-out branch name when current directory is within Git repository

* shows last command return code if it differs from 0

* shows Python virtualenv

## Installation

The most convenient way of installation is to checkout the repository and symlink the relevant scripts.

Assuming the installation in home directory:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/slomkowski/bash-full-of-colors.git .bash-full-of-colors

[ -f .bashrc ] && mv -v .bashrc bashrc.old

[ -f .bash_profile ] && mv -v .bash_profile bash_profile.old

[ -f .bash_aliases ] && mv -v .bash_aliases bash_aliases.old

[ -f .bash_logout ] && mv -v .bash_logout bash_logout.old

ln -s .bash-full-of-colors/bashrc.sh .bashrc

ln -s .bash-full-of-colors/bash_profile.sh .bash_profile

ln -s .bash-full-of-colors/bash_aliases.sh .bash_aliases

ln -s .bash-full-of-colors/bash_logout.sh .bash_logout

```

## Application aliases

Many Unix commands have already newer and more feature-rich replacements. Following aliases are defined in

`bash_aliases.sh`:

|Command:       |Replacement:    |

| ------------- | -------------- |

|df             |pydf            |

|less           |most            |

|tail           |multitail       |

|top            |htop            |

|tracepath      |mtr             |

|traceroute     |mtr             |

To install them, run following command:

```bash

aptitude install most multitail pydf mtr htop

```

If you don't have them installed, script falls back to the original command.

You can also create your own local aliases. Create the file `~/.bash_local` file and place them there.
