Bash – How to Get a Colored Bash

Using the --color option works for me out when I run grep inside of shell scripts.

Here is an example of what you want.

grep -n --color=auto "PATTERN" FILE

Edit your ~/.bashrc file and add this at the end:

function cfinfo(){
  cf target | awk '$1=="Org:"{printf "%s-", $2} $1=="Space:"{print $2}'
}

That function generates the string IB-Production depending on the output of the command cf target -s production.

Then add this after that function definition in ~/.bashrc:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w \n $(cfinfo) \$ '

Notice: The part before $(cfinfo) differs in your case. In my example it is just the default uncolored debian prompt.
