If you are a person who often perform daily tasks via command line interface, you might have ever performed multiple commands at once (usually by adding "&&" between them). But, you might be confused when analyzing the output of every command and when the command is finished. So today, I'd like to show you how to add a handy separator line between commands on Linux Terminal.
As you can see the picture above, at the end of every command there will be a separator line followed by the time completion of related command.
Now Please open your text editor and paste the following code:
Save the above code as ".bash_ps1" (don't forget the dot character) and place it in your Home folder.
Now, edit your ".bashrc" file which is located in your Home folder and append the below code:
Save the change and run the following command to "apply" your work:

# Fill with minuses # (this is recalculated every time the prompt is shown in function prompt_command): fill="--- " reset_style='\[\033[00m\]' status_style=$reset_style'\[\033[0;90m\]' # gray color; use 0;37m for lighter color prompt_style=$reset_style command_style=$reset_style'\[\033[1;29m\]' # bold black # Prompt variable: PS1="$status_style"'$fill \t\n'"$prompt_style"'${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$'"$command_style " # Reset color for command output # (this one is invoked every time before a command is executed): trap 'echo -ne "\e[0m"' DEBUG function prompt_command { # create a $fill of all screen width minus the time string and a space: let fillsize=${COLUMNS}-9 fill="" while [ "$fillsize" -gt "0" ] do fill="-${fill}" # fill with underscores to work on let fillsize=${fillsize}-1 done # If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir case "$TERM" in xterm*|rxvt*) bname=`basename "${PWD/$HOME/~}"` echo -ne "\033]0;${bname}: ${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007" ;; *) ;; esac } PROMPT_COMMAND=prompt_command
Save the above code as ".bash_ps1" (don't forget the dot character) and place it in your Home folder.
Now, edit your ".bashrc" file which is located in your Home folder and append the below code:
if [ -f "$HOME/.bash_ps1" ]; then . "$HOME/.bash_ps1" fi
Save the change and run the following command to "apply" your work:
source ~/.bashrc
This is a great tip...thank you for the post, just setup on my Mac
