No part of the code in this repository has been written by or in consultation with artificial intelligence chatbots. All of it is purely a product of natural intelligence (or stupidity, as the case may be).
These are the configuration files I use on Linux, macOS and Windows to set up a consistent development environment.
custom-prompt contains code to create a prompt for Bash or Zsh with information about the current
Git repository and the current Python virtual environment, and report the running time of long commands. A session may
typically look like this.
All symbols seen in the screenshot above may not be rendered correctly in the table below. If you see vertical hollow rectangles (or other substitute characters), you may want to install a patched font from Nerd Fonts.

If the terminal is not the active window when a long command terminates, a desktop notification will also be sent; this is done using OSC 777 on macOS and Windows, and libnotify on Linux. (Needless to say, on Linux, X11 is assumed, since there is no server to query the active window on Wayland.)
To actually get the custom prompt in Bash or Zsh, compile the code to obtain custom-bash-prompt and
custom-zsh-prompt (or download them from the latest release),
copy/move them to a directory which is in PATH, and use them as done in .bash_aliases or
.zshrc.
