Nice! I customized just my prompt about 8 months ago, although I'm admittedly less creative than you.


I like to think that that finger emoji means my terminal is proud of me like my dad never was.

Great Post!! Absolutely little things like this even though it may seem dumb, can keep you happy :)

I have customized a little bit to show the IP address, hostname, git branch, a line breaker and little smiley.

This was a joy to read. Definitely gonna try this later! Don't ever think working on a morale/happiness booster is a waste of time.

But beyond that? I hadn't thought about it. I like.

Nice. I'm now tempted to change from thumbs-up to thumbs-down depending on the value of $?

I have nothing profound to say, just this rocks and I love it! You've inspired me to want to try and do something like this to increase my developer happiness.
