Kituu

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

Fully configurable BASH environment ; You can copy it to all your users/root home folders (and to /etc/skel for all future ones) and it will automatically display "root" in the color you define. Bad root.

(Follow me on twitter https://twitter.com/xaccrocheur)

-Two-lines stable display
-Double-clickable full path (for copy & pasting)
-Simple and light load-meter
-Visual status of the latest command output
-Command history available across all new shells
-Cool aliases
-(Optional) "Greetings" mode

Many, if not all aspects, are configurable in the commented file ; It's also meant to be as secure as possible and avoids exporting crap in your env. Many surprises as well. I spent some time on this one. Bug reports *welcome*

Use this little script :

To help you find your colors

If you defined custom paths and aliases in your existing .bashrc, don't forget to source them in the new one. Always keep a backup.

You should check this page regularly for updates. Use the force, read the source ;)

NOTE: this .bashrc only works with UTF-8 capable terminal emulators.

It seems to finish the install, but then i type "bash" and it gives me this:
bash: /git-completion.bash: Permission denied
How to fix this please?

I kept getting this error when opening the terminal for the first time in a session:
bash: let: pwdmaxlen=/2: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/2")

I managed to fix it by commenting out an original line in the bashrc and replacing it with one that was formatted differently:
# let pwdmaxlen=${COLUMNS}/2
(( pwdmaxlen = COLUMNS /2 ))

Hi SeaJey ;

Those lines duplicate what kituu already does :

The export HISTCONTROL=something deal with history handling. The way it's configured in kituu is :

-only remove duplicate commands.
-Export the history file to any new shell.

(hss allows searching in the history, it's an alias for history | grep)

If you're ok with that policy, then remove them. Same with the less stuff. What system are you using ?

Excuse me for disturbance - I've found some duplicates after posting the comment.

But could you please share your screenshots with activated "stupid squirrel" or "cute plane"?

I've some misbehavior with those options.

Au contraire Seajay, thank you for your feedback ; Although I spend time ensuring that the greetings options play nice w/ each other, on some systems, display glitches may occur, in this case put all greetings options to yes, and start removing some. I myself don't use the greetings, hence all the settings defaulting to "no" ; I put them back on to test them them over time

I've inspected my own .bashrc before switching to Kituu and saw this sections:

# don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
# ... and ignore same sucessive entries.
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

# check the window size after each command and, if necessary,
# update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
shopt -s checkwinsize

# make less more friendly for non-text input files, see lesspipe(1)
[ -x /usr/bin/lesspipe ] && eval "$(lesspipe)"

Could you comment about their usefulness?
