I just saw in a video a Mac terminal app with a feature I would really like to have in elementary OS default Terminal app.
Capture:
The prompt (little left arrow) is located below the line that displays the info (user and location). This is particularly useful when the folder one is located into, has a rather long name.
Can this be achieved at all with elementary's Terminal app?
Follow these instructions and will have a very similar result (take a look at the screenshot):
$ sudo apt-get install zsh
$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
$ curl -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denysdovhan/spaceship-zsh-theme/master/install.sh | zsh
Open your ~/.zshrc file in an editor.
Change theme (probably line 8) to "spaceship": "ZSH_THEME="spaceship"
Reload your terminal:
$ source ~/.zshrc
More info for zsh here: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh
More themes and their installation can be found here: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/External-themes
There are many of them. Maybe you find a better one.
After doing this your default shell ist 'zsh'. Follow uninstall instructions if you want to go back to bash!
