# Customized terminal prompt to reflect current git branches. Based on Debian's default PS1 variable, which was | |
# e.g. '\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' | |
# at the time beeing of Debian 12 Bookworm. The original prompt was broken in two parts (left and right) | |
# and it can get flavoured with the middle part, to your very linking. | |
# | |
# Left part: ${PS1:0:-3} | |
# Right part: ${PS1:${#ps1_left_part}:${#PS1}} | |
# | |
# That way the original prompt keeps its existance. | |
