color me, color you

linux
In the xoria256m post, I introduced my xoria256 like color scheme. Again, inspired by solarized, I extended this to other applications. So now I use this in the following apps:
- vim (see that previous post);
- mutt (idem);
- zsh;
- dircolors;
- git (a bit).
zsh
See this file to setup the colors. Then in my prompt I have stuff like:
PS1=$'${vcs_info_msg_0_}$FG[067]%(1j.$myjobs% $FX[reset].$FX[reset])$FG[179]%#$FX[reset] '
RPS1="$RPSL%$MAXMID<...<$mypath$RPSR$FG[239]$FX[bold]$__ZH$FX[reset]${vcs_info_msg_1_}"
RPSR=$'$FX[reset]$FG[009]%(0?.$FG[reset]. $E)$FX[reset]'
For zsh I have two files that make up my prompt:
Also see this older blog post on this setup. This leads to a prompt looking like this (click for larger):
The normal prompt is very plain. Almost nothing is shown, left the
prompt %
and on the right the PWD ~
:
When logging in to a remote server, the hostname appears on the
right:
When a program ends abnormally the exitcode is shown, in words (-INT
)
and red when it isn’t zero:
When you background an app. the number of bg jobs appear in blue. The
one with the +
is the current job. Multiple jobs are separated with commas:
When you enter a git/svn/hg directory, the right side shows the type
(git, svn, hg) and on the left you get the current branch.
dircolors
Modified from Solarized, not quite finished, but certainly looks nice (IMHO). See this dircolors file, I use it like:
eval $(dircolors ./dircolors)
git
The alias
section from my .gitconfig
:
[alias]
st = status
ci = commit
br = branch
co = checkout
df = diff
lg = log -p
pl = pull
ps = push
timeline = log --graph \"--pretty=format:%C(192)%h%Creset by %C(bold 239)%an%Creset (%ar)%C(182)%d%Creset%n%s%n%b\" --all
The colors are selected with %C(number)
