synth-shell is a collection of bash scripts and aliases that enhance the terminal with color, status information, and a fancy prompt. Users can install individual scripts selectively via an interactive setup script.
Use cases
- make my bash prompt prettier with git status info
- add colors and useful info to my terminal
- get a fancy bash prompt with powerline fonts
- improve terminal productivity with handy shell aliases
- customize my linux terminal experience
When to choose
- you use bash on Linux or macOS and want a quick, modular terminal upgrade
- you want to pick and choose individual shell enhancements rather than a full framework
- you like eye-candy prompts with system and git info
When to avoid
- you use zsh or fish rather than bash
- you need guaranteed Windows support
- you want a heavily maintained framework with extensive plugin ecosystem
