  • I’m usually not using bash locally, and remotely don’t change the prompt, but Starship works in bash too.

    I use Nushell with Starship (cross platform prompt) in Windows Terminal.

    ~
    nu ❯                                  took 52ms
    

    Path above prompt, prompt with shell name and a character, and on the right side how long the previous command took. The Character changes color from green to red when the last command exited with a non-0/-success exit code.

    In a git repo folder it shows git info too - the branch symbol won’t show here because here is not a nerd font with symbols; I’ll add a screenshot:

    C:\dev\dotnet\meercat-monitor on  main [?]
    nu ❯                                                                took 1ms 
    

    Starship can show a bunch of status/state information for various tools, package managers, docker, etc.

    I wouldn’t show my PROMPT_COMMAND, but it’s a nu closure so not really comparable to bash. But as I said, Starship works with Bash too.










  • Unless you need a “stable” version of your in-development work I wouldn’t split parts of it into branches.

    Use branches to draft and explore changes, and merge them when they’re accepted into the baseline draft/current state.

    Don’t be afraid to merge “better than before but not final or complete or conclusive” work. You’re trying to evolve, not construct final parts to combine. They won’t ever be final.



  • I’m not a user of this software, but reading the ticket I know I’d be annoyed too. I was when Windows 11 changed task bar behavior to worse.

    • It dumped and animated icon in my panel in the primary position where my most used launcher normally is
    • There was no clear way to remove this intrusion into my workflow - the context menu item of “Donation options” was not something that appeared to give me that option

    From that, seems like it was a disruptive donation button rather than an informational side thing.

    They opened the ticket with thanks and appreciation, and made respectful factual arguments. Far from “whining incessantly”.
