We could put the following at the end of /etc/bashrc:
```
function _update_ps1() {
PS1="$(/usr/bin/powerline-go -modules
venv,user,host,ssh,cwd,perms,git,hg,jobs,exit -colorize-hostname
-error $? -static-prompt-indicator -newline -jobs $(jobs -p | wc -l))"
}
if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ] && [ -f "/usr/bin/powerline-go" ]; then
PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
fi
```
See attached picture for what it looks like. I've been using this
setup on my machines for years and it's been super helpful. (Note that
the modules listed in the PS1 line there appear only when relevant. So
you won't see 'ssh', 'git', etc. information unless they're in use.
