Configuring bash

Add the following code snippet to ~/.bashrc file:

function _update_ps1() {
    PS1=$(powerline-shell $?)
}

if [[ $TERM != linux && ! $PROMPT_COMMAND =~ _update_ps1 ]]; then
    PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
fi
# <<< powerline-shell initialize <<<

Update Configuration File

Powerline-shell is customizable through the use of a config file. This file is expected to be located at ~/.config/powerline-shell/config.json. You can generate the default config at this location using:

mkdir -p ~/.config/powerline-shell && \
powerline-shell --generate-config > ~/.config/powerline-shell/config.json

And replace ~/.config/powerline-shell/config.json with the reference file.
