A way to color your boring prompt

Germany with a Taiwan flag

OMG! I havn’t posted anything for a long long time. These days I’m busy with my new job, yeah a totally different kind of job. I’ve to remote to the workstations in the U.S., and it’s not a big deal to me(or to any software engineer). But the problem is that I’m not permitted to install unnecessary extensions on the workstations. However, I’m a big fan of Hyper and Oh-My-Posh, and I believe a pretty terminal can make you happy and bring up your effectiveness!

For sure, I CAN get the software by delivering the application to the IT department. But I don’t want to do this. Hence, I need to light up my terminal with limited resources. Just use `bash` to create a colorful prompt.

The following is my `tcsh` setting. Of course, it provides very simple functionality, but it’s fair enough to use. If you like it, please COPY & PASTE and don't forget to give a thumb. Thanks!
