Spring shell-cleaning

Friday, May 29th, 2009

I updated my shell’s prompt for the first time in years. New prompt has a right-aligned timestamp/datestamp, shows the number of background jobs (if any) and shows the current git branch if I’m in a git repository.

I think it’s also not as obnoxiously colored.

Old Prompt:

dylan's old prompt

New Prompt:
