# bash-fancy-ps1

Modifies your current `$PS1` to replace `\w` with a shorter string.  Also affects `$PROMPT_COMMAND`.  Run `make` to build `fancy-ps1.bash`.  Put `fancy-ps1.bash` somewhere in your path, like `~/bin/`, then add this to your `~/.bashrc`:

```bash

if [ -n "$TERM" -a "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then

    if which fancy-ps1.bash >/dev/null 2>&1; then

        source $(which fancy-ps1.bash)

        # Try to make CWD 30 characters.  Also see FANCYPS1_DYNAMIC.

        # Default:

        #FANCYPS1_CWDLENGTH=30

        # When not 0, try to make CWD this percentage of the width of

        # your terminal

        # Default:

        #FANCYPS1_DYNAMIC=0

        # The string to fill your path with when elements are removed

        # Default: (depends on if you are UTF-8 or not)

        #FANCYPS1_FILL=$'\u2736' # 2736 = ✷  279d = ➝  2026 = …

        #FANCYPS1_FILL="..."
