the *NIX Witch 2b255a1507 Add .screenrc, and replace the machine-specific PATH with a placeholder 
The first line of .bashrc hardcoded a Visual Studio NodeJS path from my own
box, which is useless to anyone cloning this. It is now a commented block
explaining the /drives/<letter> mount scheme, so it reads as the one line
you're meant to edit rather than something to puzzle over.

girlpop terminal system ⚗️

Terminal config for a Windows 11 + MobaXterm daily driver with a Debian jump host on the other end of an SSH pipe.

  • .bashrc — a trans-flag powerline prompt for bash, three modes
  • .screenrc — GNU screen, with a status line and 10k scrollback

The prompt works anywhere bash and a Powerline-patched font do.

Three modes, switchable live:

command what you get
girlpop_trans_on flag-striped powerline: blue / pink / white / pink, cycling across every segment
girlpop_on neon mode — magenta/cyan/green, and the first segment turns red when the last command failed
girlpop_off clean mode — plain date, time, path
girlpop_status prints which mode you're in

Trans mode is the default on startup.

Install

git clone https://git.360pc.com/evilbob/dotfiles ~/.spellbook
echo 'source ~/.spellbook/.bashrc' >> ~/.bashrc

Or just copy the GIRLPOP TERMINAL SYSTEM block into your own .bashrc.

Requires

  • bash 4+ (uses arrays and PROMPT_COMMAND)
  • a Powerline-patched font — the separator is U+E0B0, the solid right-pointing triangle. Without one you get a tofu box instead of the ribbon. In MobaXterm: Settings → Configuration → Terminal → Font.
  • a terminal with 256-colour support (TERM=xterm-256color)

How the stripes work

The flag colours are 256-colour approximations — blue 81, pink 219, white 255 — cycled blue, pink, white, pink so the pattern reads as the flag no matter how many path segments you have.

The trick to a seamless ribbon is the separator: its foreground is the colour you're leaving and its background is the colour you're entering, so adjacent stripes butt up against each other with no gap.

Segments are user@host, date, time, then one per directory in $PWD — and they all share one continuous colour cycle, so the flag never resets mid-path.

.screenrc

Screen, not tmux. Opens two bash windows, keeps 10,000 lines of scrollback, and puts a window list + hostname + date in an always-visible status line.

altscreen on is the important one: it means vim restores your terminal contents when it exits, instead of leaving the file smeared up the scrollback. termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@ re-enables mouse-wheel scrolling through the host terminal, which screen otherwise swallows.

cp .screenrc ~/.screenrc

Machine-specific bits

The top of .bashrc has a commented-out PATH block — that is the one line you're meant to edit. Under MobaXterm and Cygwin, Windows drives live under /drives/<letter>.
