I use this very ugly hack to sync my local .pry_history (ruby repl) with the docker dev container.
function d() {
docker cp $HOME/.pry_history "$(docker-compose ps -q api)":/app/.pry_history
docker exec -ti $(docker-compose ps -q api) env TERM=xterm $@
docker cp "$(docker-compose ps -q api)":/app/.pry_history $HOME/.pry_history
}
Looks bad, has hard coded paths and container names but it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just added:
PROMPT='%-0d:
$ '
So I can easily see where I am and not have to type pwd all the time:
/Users/Aston:
$ gv
/Users/Aston/projects/code/giveaways:
$
I like the line break. I print my path before the $ sign but the line gets pretty full when I go too deep.
Yeah that’s why I removed the path to begin with as I didn’t like the prompt start point varying. Think this is what I’ll settle on:
PROMPT='
%F{7}%D{%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S}
%F{8}%-0d
%F{52}$ %F{0}'
I have this in my .inputrc. So like Ctrl R but by using up/down arrows.
# Key bindings, up/down arrow searches through history
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward
"\eOA": history-search-backward
"\eOB": history-search-forward
