Very nice bash PS1 prompts.

A complex, but very useful bash shell prompt.

PS1=$(
    sep=$'\xC2\xBB'     # UTF-8 U+00BB
        red=$(tput setaf 1)
	green=$(tput setaf 2)
	yellow=$(tput setaf 3)
	blue=$(tput setaf 4)
	cyan=$(tput setaf 5)
	bold=$(tput bold)
	reset=$(tput sgr0)

	[[ $EUID -eq 0 ]] && user=$red || user=$green

	echo "\[$user\]\u@\h\[$reset\] \[$blue$bold\]$sep\[$reset\] \[$yellow\]\W\[$reset\] \[$blue$bold\]$sep\[$reset\] \[$user\]\$\[$reset\] ")

Gives the user a prompt that looks like this.

jason@Yog-Sothoth » ~ » $

Another simpler one with the prompt on a new line.

PS1="┌─╼ \[\e[0;34m\]\u\[\e[1;35m\]::\[\e[0;34m\]\h \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n──╼ "

Prompt looks like this.

┌─╼ jason::Yog-Sothoth ~
──╼

Both of these are great shell prompts, but it is up to you to decide which one is better for you.
