  How to install the bash prompt

  Check for Existing .bash_prompt:

  First, you need to check if there's already a .bash_prompt file in your home directory. Execute the following command:

  ls ~ -a | grep .bash_prompt

  Rename Existing '.bash_prompt':

  If you find an existing .bash_prompt and want to keep it as a backup, rename it using:

  mv ~/.bash_prompt ~/.bash_prompt_OLD

  Download and Move New .bash_prompt:

  Download the bash_prompt file from my project post. After downloading, move the file to your home directory and rename it to .bash_prompt:

  mv ~/Downloads/bash_prompt ~/.bash_prompt

  Update .bashrc:

  Now, you need to update your .bashrc file to ensure it uses the new .bash_prompt. Open .bashrc with nano:

  nano ~/.bashrc

  At the end of the file, add the following line to source the .bash_prompt:

  source ~/.bash_prompt
  

  Save the file by pressing Ctrl-S and exit nano with Ctrl-X.

  Apply the Changes:

  To apply the changes and use the new bash prompt, source your .bashrc file:

  source ~/.bashrc
  

  Set A Dark Background:

  Visual Studio has a pleasantly dark background that we all love. The hex code for it is: #1F1F1F. Set the color by pressing the button with horizontal lines on it ⟶ Preferences ⟶ Unnamed ⟶ Colours ⟶ Background.
