byobu-prompt(1) byobu byobu-prompt(1) NAME byobu-prompt, byobu-enable-prompt, byobu-disable-prompt - add and remove a nice color prompt with a previous command timer to your shell configuration SYNOPSIS byobu-prompt byobu-enable-prompt byobu-disable-prompt DESCRIPTION Byobu provides a special PS0 and PS1 prompt command, compatible with Bash shells. It will display the previous command's total runtime and exit code, if it's not zero. It will use 3 separate colors for the local username, hostname, and the current working directory. byobu-enable-prompt will add one line to your ~/.bashrc. You can safely remove the line from your ~/.bashrc, which ends in #byobu-prompt. byobu-disable-prompt will remove its color configuration from ~/.bashrc. byobu-prompt is an interactive wrapper of the previous two tools. BUGS This is currently only compatible with bash(1).
