A simple but powerful Powerline style prompt for the Bash shell written in Bash script. Providing you with information right on the commandline.
Pureline was inspired by Bash-Powerline-Shell and is designed to make configuration easy, using either full 256 color or just the basic terminal colors - allowing colors to be set by the terminal (eg Xresources or profiles).
- Extensible and feature rich written in bash script. Pureline uses bash script v4 and needs no other external dependencies. Just download and source the script to get going. You can extend the features for personal use or contributing to PureLine.
- Configuration and custom color schemes are all done with bash script and easy to follow examples are included.
