TutsPlus - How To Customize Your Terminal torrent

Lately, I’ve been getting this question a lot: “how did you get your terminal to look the way it does?” If you’ve noticed my terminal and are curious about how I set it up, this is the tutorial for you! Of course, what you learn here will be enough to get you started on creating your own custom command prompt, as well!

Before we get started, I want to make something extremely clear. I’m certainly a command line enthusiast, but I’m not at all a command line pro. I feel at home in a terminal, but I’m a far cry from knowing everything. So here’s the deal: I’m going to show you how I’ve set up my terminal, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be able to explain every single line of code we’ll look at. There are some things here that are the way they are just because that’s what works … and I don’t always 100% know why.
