.\" (C) Copyright 2015 aborrero .\" .TH LIQUIDPROMPT 1 "May 7, 2015" .SH NAME liquidprompt \- A full-featured & carefully designed adaptive prompt for bash & zsh .SH DESCRIPTION Liquid Prompt gives you a nicely displayed prompt with useful information when you need it. It shows you what you need when you need it. You will notice what changes when it changes, saving time and frustration. .br You can even use it with your favorite shell – \fBbash(1)\fP or \fBzsh(1)\fP. .SH ACTIVATION The liquidprompt package has no way to know which users do you want this prompt to be active for. A small script, \fBliquidprompt_activate\fP is included to ease activation of the prompt. This will set the required environment: .sp 1 .nf * The files \fB~/.bashrc\fP and/or \fB~/.zshrc\fP are modified to load liquidprompt at startup. * If no previous \fB~/.config/liquidpromptrc\fP file exists, it will be created. .fi .sp 1 So, to get liquidprompt working simply run: .sp 1 .nf user@debian:~$ liquidprompt_activate user@debian:~$ source ~/.bashrc .fi Be aware that multiple invocations of the \fBliquidprompt_activate\fP command may pollute \fB~/.bashrc\fP and/or \fB~/.zshrc\fP files. .SH FUNCTIONS Once liquidprompt has been loaded, you will have 4 new commands available (which are shell functions actually). .TP .B liquidprompt_tag tag tag current shell liquidprompt with \fItag\fP. .TP .B liquidprompt_OFF use an empty prompt, just the $ mark. .TP .B liquidprompt_off turn off liquidprompt for this shell. .TP .B liquidprompt_on turn on liquidprompt for this shell. .SH CONFIGURATION liquidprompt is highly configurable. There are plenty of options regarding style, performance, VCS, et all. .br Please take a look at the included README file at \fB/usr/share/doc/liquidprompt/\fP and the file \fB~/.config/liquidpromptrc\fP as well. .SH SEE ALSO .BR bash(1), .BR zsh(1) .SH ABOUT liquidprompt was originally developed by \fBnojhan \fP.
