Ubuntu Terminal Color Configuration

For the students who have just touched Ubuntu, open the terminal (CTRL+ALT+T), will find that there is a color, whether it is the user name, hostname or command is white, of course, with LS to list the file is more than one color. Even so, it's not efficient for developers, because sometimes you need to go to dozens of lines or even hundreds of lines of code to find the commands you've run or the information you want. Therefore, it is very important to color the terminal (Terminal).

1, first in the terminal with Gedit open configuration file (~/.BASHRC), such as:

$ gedit ~/.BASHRC

2. Add the following code at the end:

ps1=‘${debian_chroot:+ ($debian _chroot)}\[\033[01;< Span class= "number" >35; 40m\]\u\[\033[00; 00; 40m\]@\[\033[01; 35; 40m\]\h\[\033[00; 31; 40m\]:\[\033[00; 00; 40m\]\w \[\033[01; 32; 40m\]\$ \[\033[01; 36; 40m\] '              

After you enter this code at the end of the current file in the Open editor, press Ctrl+s to save it. You can then close the editor directly by closing the editor, or you can press CTRL + C in the terminal to close the compiler and continue executing the command (note that you can continue the command only if you close the editor).

3, restart the terminal, you can see your color.

The following is the process of color matching:

Foreground background color

30 40 Black

31 41 Red

32 42 Green

33 43 Yellow

34 44 Blue

35 45 Purple Red

36 46 Blue

37 47 White

1 Transparent Color

Code meaning

0 OFF

1 highlighting

4 Underline

5 Flashing

7 Anti-white display

8 Not visible

In the case of color mode open, the PS1 variable represents the user name + hostname + pathname (long path) + $

ps1='${debian_chroot:+ ($debian _chroot)}\[email protected]\h:\w\$ ' 

Next, we need to set the font color of the displayed information, first look at how the color is set:

A separate color setting: \ 033[code; foreground; background m, such as: \[\ 033[1;32;40m\] indicates that the highlighted font is green and the background color is black.

Note: The color settings are placed in front of the corresponding settings, such as user name color settings: \[\033[01;35;40m\]\u

The following is attached, not my terminal color settings:

ps1=‘${debian_chroot:+ ($debian _chroot)}\[\033[01; 35; 40m\]\u\[\033[00; 00; 40m\]@\[\033[01; 35; 40m\]\h\[\033[00; 31; 40m\]:\[\033[00; 00; 40m\]\w \[\033[01; 32; 40m\]\$ \[\033[01; 36; 40m\] '
