In this video, we make the terminal look fancy with bars and do a complete Linux terminal beautification.

Install Terminator (Terminal I use in video)
sudo apt install terminator

Install Fonts-Powerline for pretty bars
sudo apt install fonts-powerline

Copy and Paste of the Fancy Prompt Script

  1. A lost has happened in the 4 years since you posted this video. Like the file you linked to is no longer on GitHub. Would you still have the location of the original creator?

  2. Don't install this theme. It will replace your default .bashrc and you would lost basic commands including `cat`, `ipconfig` etc.
    Why debugging for 3 days to install cat or ipconfig rather than using the default terminal?

  3. Your awesome saved my old 12 year old laptop by putting linux on it after in would do nothing on windows.Always got to hot and just would not function on widows at all..I am not tech savy at all bit watching your videos helped so much thank you ever so much you are awesome !!! PS I curse you sometimes though when i do not know things your saying because i am not tech savy as i said just joking love ya man !!!

  4. I've been trying to figure out just to simply change the colour of the font. For example when a folder has closed permissions and I sudo chmod it I want it bright green or even a highlight green but its a dull green how can I change this?

  5. Ultimately, I was able to get this to work… The Mint Theme limited my ability to alter the type of terminal much, but I was able to figure out how to alter the .bashrc files so I could change the look of the Home and Root prompts. Ultimately, I decided to leave only the Home prompt beautified because it's a reminder for me not to run things as Root User unless I was doing so for a specific reason. This way Home feels like home, and Root feels like root.

  6. Hi
    When you paste the script on the .bashrc file is there a specific line where you should paste it? Do you erase all that was there or you just add the script? I did it but it didn't work. It does nothing at all.
