## NAME
       byobu-prompt,  byobu-enable-prompt, byobu-disable-prompt - add and remove a nice color prompt
       to your shell configuration


## SYNOPSIS
### byobu-prompt

### byobu-enable-prompt

### byobu-disable-prompt


## DESCRIPTION
       Byobu provides a special PS1 prompt command, compatible with Bash shells.   It  will  display
       the  previous  command's  exit code, if it's not zero.  It will use 3 separate colors for the
       local username, hostname, and the current working directory.

       **byobu-enable-prompt** will add one line to your _~/.bashrc_.

       You can safely remove the line from your _~/.bashrc_, which ends in **#byobu-prompt**.

       **byobu-disable-prompt** will remove its color configuration from _~/.bashrc_.

       **byobu-prompt** is an interactive wrapper of the previous two tools.


## BUGS
       This is currently only compatible with [**bash(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/bash/1/markdown)**.
