            "content": "Byobu provides a special PS1 prompt command, compatible with Bash shells.   It  will  display\nthe  previous  command's  exit code, if it's not zero.  It will use 3 separate colors for the\nlocal username, hostname, and the current working directory.\n\nbyobu-enable-prompt will add one line to your ~/.bashrc.\n\nYou can safely remove the line from your ~/.bashrc, which ends in #byobu-prompt.\n\nbyobu-disable-prompt will remove its color configuration from ~/.bashrc.\n\nbyobu-prompt is an interactive wrapper of the previous two tools.\n\n",
