For ZSH Users: christitus.com/zsh/ Bash Copy/Paste Guide: christitus.com/beautiful-bash/

Never replace someone's entire bashrc file with a symlink. The bashrc is holy and should be respected. Only ever append or prepend stuff and let the user know you're doing so. Edit: I mean ask the user if it's okay to source the additional config (my original comment wasn't clear enough)

This works really well for a personal system. Don't use something like this as a crutch though if you have to log into multiple random systems. Just like you should know ed, ex, and vi before using some exotic vim profile. You never know what caveman-arsed system you might have to work on.

"So if you have a bash.rc, you're probably gonna wipe that out." wut dude?

The thing I like more about your content is that you come up with great stuff that I usually don't even think about (like the Homebrew video, too). Thanks a lot!

I like the "ugly" look

Lol I've always wanted to do this but I just never felt researching it, I would keep it ugly, put some colors on my prompt and put my git branch indicator in there and just live with it 😆. Glad for the script, I won't run it but I can look through it and see what you're doing which I like better than reading documentation because... like I said I'm lazy haha

I'm somewhat late to the party. For new linux users wanting to revert to their original bash, you can do so with the following command: cat /etc/skel/.bashrc > ~/.bashrc That is, revert to the .bashrc file created with the home directory.

Thanks Chris, Love the new look of my terminal:)

Can you please tell what font must to be added ? some icons cannto appear corectly in my ubuntu

And I ALSO love the way he zooms in so we can see the tiny font Again great job 😂

Thanks Chris you did an excelent job with starship and autojump, could you do a tutorial on these and go into your thinking a bit more? Can we loose the symlinks? I think it would be better, faster, more robust without symlinks. Thanks for the great guides and tutorials.

As a windows user i can't wait for next Monday!

It kills the deep nerdy side of the terminal

🧑🏽‍💻♌💗 I'm playing around with debian & Wayland....lol I'm still friends with my tinycore build eventhough the frustration associated with tinycore was way more than I anticipated 😅...definitely learning how wild linux land can get..I must be insane because I absolutely love it....😅😅😅 thanks Chris for all the material... I feel like a DJ digging through the crates looking for the special vinyl you've got some great hits bro

I absolutely love the way he makes this shit easy for beginners Great job

Ptse, the little teaser for next Monday, cute 😄

Bad, bad Chris, blindly wipe out a users. .bashrc? Why not explain what to hash out in. bashrc and source 'mybash/bashed' within the users. .bashrc?

Nice little script, but one really shouldn't be symlinking their bashrc file to a directory like that where if they go in and clean up their git hub directory, they can delete their bashrc file by accident. You're better off putting it somewhere else, or look at appending their existing one after commenting everything else out. You may also want to really consider backing up their current bashrc file before doing anything to it. You can always tell and show people how to do it themselves and tell people that they should always check scripts before they run them, but lets be real, a newer Linux user just coming over from Windows or Mac may not be that cautious and usually won't know enough about what the bashrc file does to handle this right (Mac users have a chance, but not very likely for Windows users).

Hi Chris!! is there anyway to take the greek letters out? other than that seems good, thanks for the work!

how to uninstall this?? it is causing many errors and I need to know

Thanks Chris. Much appreciated.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Don't judge my terminal by your standards ... :p EDIT: Previous was a reaction, but yeah as others have pointed out this is the wrong way to do this kind of cusomization. Maybe there's a type of user that only has Linux to open a terminal and run neofetch to bump their computer street cred or something and this works for them? IDK. Bad practice all around.

it gives me bash: zoxide: command not found in every cd command i do Edit: Solved after executing 'sudo apt install -y zoxide' Thanks for the new theme

The icons aren't working for me on the Iosevka nerd font. Hod do you turn them off?

Thanks Cris for the great config!! I note that it is not showing python virtual envs in the prompt. Any idea of how configure this?

I love how my bash looks now.

Always wanted to know how your terminals were like this.. thanks for the video. Btw new linux user here :) and your channel has been quite helpful so far

Fantastic altruistic work Mr. Chris.. God bless You :)

could not you use "mv *.ttf ~/.fonts" prob will only move everything with .ttf extension

Thank you for another awesome video.

Great work, thank you for sharing

Would be much appreciated if you could do a universal guide on your bspwm config. I wanted to get into tiling managers for quite a while and this would be the perfect start.

Can these customizations be reflected in the TTY consoles, too?

Thanks Chris

You are a beautiful b@sturd and a gem of a man because of all the work you do and then do it for KZfaq for some stranger to copy it. I salute you good sir

Apparently on the current version of the beautiful bash the bashrc file is replaced. The error did not pop up for me. Also it set up as default editor vim. Personally I am not familiar with vim, so it was a bit frustrating when found out. Hopefully it was easy to fix by just commenting out the section on bashrc about the default editor.

I see, so you wouldn't recommend comic sans in the terminal, no?

I want it to be next Monday already!!

Chris, do you have your RHCE cert?

Thanks for doing this.

While I primarily use the console, NONE of our users do. What irritates me with THIS tutorial though - you're not teaching people how to change their prompt. You're only telling them "run this script from some random person on the internet, trust me it's safe wink wink". Teach the use of ANSI and in this case UTF8/UTF16 to get to that point. That makes FAR more sense, because then people can really customize the prompt to their liking.

On Arch, getting: bash: compdef: command not found bash: compdef: command not found bash: compdef: command not found bash: compdef: command not found bash: compdef: command not found bash: compdef: command not found bash: /home/mrgeebee/.bashrc: line 732: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Thank you!

Its a better idea to append the customizations to the .bashrc instead of completely replacing it with a symlink.

Awesome content Chris, thank you very much indeed. On another note, I installed your bootloader and it was working great until I upgraded Mint to version 21. Any ideas?

awesome. Thank you.

Nice demo!

how do i change color of it? would someone please help me with that, cuz id like to have a red color pallet rather than blue...

It does look pretty with the arrow-shaped gradients and the colors when first opening a terminal, but after you've run a few commands and you see it repeating four, five or more times, it really starts to look ugly and just too in-your-face. Also, when you're in a directory with a long name and its path is taking up like half or more of the terminal and it's all fancy and stuff... it just seems too flashy to me. It's fun for a few minutes and always leaves a good impression when opening a new terminal, but after only a few minutes of real use I feel like these kinds of console customizations really wear out their welcome, leaving me wanting to go back to that "ugly," boring default.

I find it quite bad to symlink a .bashrc file to a random directory, the moment you cleanup your GitHub folder, you break bash and lose your customisations A copy command (like you offer at the start) might be better, yes, or maybe appending the changes to the current .bashrc file? Good presentation nonetheless!

Does it still show the virtual env?

I'll wait till next Monday 🙂

I found fish and fell in love.

"E: Unable to locate package fastfetch"

my bash overwrites in the same line please help

what do you need time in your prompt for when it is a bottom right of screen ???

On both my Raspberry pi and my Ubuntu on WSL2 the ~/.config directory does not exist. You may want to add a check/creation of this directory to the script.

I couldn't have found this video at a more perfect time, currently trying to get my Bash to be pretty and oh-my-posh is just being rude!

It looks clean & thank you. But how do you disable the ls command from showing hidden files & folders?

How can I remove the empty line above the prompt (or make it smaller)? It doesn't look very good when opening the terminal and there's just this useless empty line at the top...

Is there something else that needs to be changes? Since my prompt shows weird vertical square brackets with vertical i letter inside instead of the nice arrows you have.

I do really like Mononoki font from nerd fonts

i'm still using ohmyzsh...

how to enable hide hidden folders in this script

Hey Chris , do you have the same thing for ZSH by any chance?

Permission denied

Chris i love your tool but it really does not disabling PowerThrottling,i cheked in registry also in Policy Editor and its not disabled

Is anyone able to point me in the direction to change my command prompt? I swear I’ve looked everywhere and tried messing with all the proper files and I can’t get it to change anymore.

is this only for linux gitbash? no windows?

how do I remove the git-hub logo thingy in the bash?

how do i change it from blue to another color i want since i am using gruvbox i want a orange color

Thanks. My bash is fucked up now :)

how do i unlik this and restore my default bashrc?

will this starship work with fish shell too??

I just use oh my bash, oh my zsh, and oh my posh for simplicity and convenience.

how to revert back

hi Chris. what are you thinking about Stratis File System.

Chris comes out of the box with uber-geekness for the Bash cognoscenti! 🤩 But average users are gonna average user, and avoid Bash like a time-share. 😐

How do you get the translucent background though

How to remove it..? i don't like aliases

I think that using a prompt _program_ is a bit of an overkill. Well, for navigating local code repositories, perhaps...

I think the ugly bash is the beautiful bash.

I've been trying to reproduce this on Arch and not doing well. Do you have any thoughts/ideas?

I used this in a long time and now I want to return to the default because I want to see the virtual environment show up. So how can I turn back to the default. Any help ?

Thanks Chris, very cool stuff. However I deleted like 90% from the provided .bashrc file as it were some absolutely irrelevant personal configs.

Why not source?

How do you change it from these blueish colors to sg else??

Hey, thanks for the Guide! one weird thing: does your script change the timezone of the timestamp behind every command? i'm located in germany and my timestamp is 8h behind my time 😄

I only replaced the section of my .bashrc file at the bottom that begins with # Set the ultimate amazing command prompt I have everything working correctly, except I don't have the rounded prompt. How can I get that?

I’m assuming installing this pretty bash works on bash for windows too?

4:20 a chku sign :) google sign which tribe?

if i access root.. the settings will revert..how can i set this so that it includes root?

Hi Chris, I love your content. Just followed the steps of your setup guide, however I encountered a little hiccup. When I restart my system I get a warning : "Error found when loading /home/usr/.profile stty: 'standard input': Inappropriate ioctl for device As a result the session will not de configured correctly..." Tried to research about it, followed some thread about .profile and tty but I couldn't figure it out. I'm on PopOs might I add. Could you please give me some pointers where I might look into ? Many thanks (In the mean time I've reset my backup .bashrc)

DON'T just remove your .bashrc file unless this is the first time you ever launched bash of this machine. You _did_ make some customizations, didn't you?

Straight 🔥. Gosh funniest show I have watched anywhere my entire life. Watched this like 666x, so funny. Thank you for making my toilet time easier and greasier.

My fav Nerd font is 'GoMono Nerd Book' not 'GoMono Nerd Monospace Book'

"I love Forcing things" 😅

Can someone reply the command for removing this ??

I bought your WinUtil but I don't see a menu option to remove One Drive and Windows Defender, am I blind or have you intentionally omitted those two ?. I don't run any antivirus on my gaming PC as it ONLY goes online for Steam gaming and some browsing.
