Anyone know how can I turn my Mac terminal into this?

Question

How can I make my Mac terminal look like the screenshot below? The input line is cool and seems useful.

Answer 1

You mean the prompt line? That is done by setting the PS1 environment variable in the .bashrc file (or .bash_profile) in your home directory.

Answer 2

It seems that the guy in the picture you sent uses Rails and GIT. If you are using git, you should download GIT Bash Completition to and change your .bash_profile, including this 2 lines:

source ~/.git-completion.bash
export PS1='\[\033[38m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \[\033[31m\]`git branch 2> /dev/null | grep \* | head -1 |  sed "s/\* //g" | awk "{ print \"(\" \\\$1 \")\" }"`\[\033[29m\]$\[\033[00m\] '

With this you will have a nice prompt, which tells you what branch you are.
