Make a nice looking terminal

How to use the .bashrc file:

sudo apt install fonts-powerline place the .bashrc file in you home folder, replacing the one that is already there

How to use the colour scripts:

A collection of terminal color scripts I've accumulated over the years. Included 52 beautiful terminal color scripts.

All you need to do is download the PKGBUILD from this repository. Then run the following command:

makepkg -cf

This will create a file that ends in .pkg.tar.xz (for example, shell-color-scripts-0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz). Then run:

sudo pacman -U *.pkg.tar.zst

Alternately, you could also install shell-color-scripts from the AUR using an AUR helper such as yay:

yay -S shell-color-scripts

Download the source code from this repository or use a git clone:

git clone https://gitlab.com/dwt1/shell-color-scripts.git
cd shell-color-scripts
rm -rf /opt/shell-color-scripts || return 1
sudo mkdir -p /opt/shell-color-scripts/colorscripts || return 1
sudo cp -rf colorscripts/* /opt/shell-color-scripts/colorscripts
sudo cp colorscript.sh /usr/bin/colorscript

# optional for zsh completion
sudo cp zsh_completion/_colorscript /usr/share/zsh/site-functions
