Bash aliases

Bash aliases and environment variables for easier development

The same configurations may be applied to other shells, but we use bash in our examples. Here is a set of handy things for your ~/.bash_aliases file:

force_color_prompt=yes
shopt -s autocd
set completion-ignore-case On

# Let's make the prompt more colorful and show Git branch if available
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;35m\][\d \t] \[\033[01;33m\]\w\[\033[01;31m\]\[\033[01;34m\]$(__git_ps1)\[\033[01;31m\] > \[\033[01;32m\]'

# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
case "$TERM" in
xterm*|rxvt*)
    PS1="\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\w\a\]$PS1"
    ;;
*)
    ;;
esac

Run source ~/.bashrc in all opened terminal windows to apply changes. Alternatively, you can restart your computer.

Note that ~/misc/apps/ is a location created by Ubuntu post-installation scripts. This is why we sometimes use this path in the documentation. Replace it with your own location if needed.

Check the Ubuntu post-installation scripts for the latest alias updates. For example, see this script starting with force_color_prompt=yes.
