Terminal Customization

I run a Fedora 27 box as of now and I use Tilix as my emulator and fish as my shell with Oh My Fish. fish is a smart and user-friendly command-line shell and I really love this and you should try it out.

To get fish on your machine you can go to this page and install fish for your machine, once you have installed fish on your machine you should also install Oh My Fish from here. And once you have done that you are ready to customize your prompt mine looks like this

I am using bobthefish as my current theme for a fish shell with SauceCodePro Nerd Font Regular as font, bobthefish is a Powerline-style, Git-aware fish theme optimized for awesome.

To use the theme completely you need to install nerd-fonts in your system.

Here is my config.fish.

# Config options for bobthefish
set -g theme_display_vagrant yes
set -g theme_display_docker_machine no
set -g theme_display_k8s_context yes
set -g theme_display_hg yes
