Create ~/.bash-user to add your own aliases and settings. Example:

alias projects='cd ~/projects'
alias gs='git status'

# Custom environment variables
export EDITOR=nvim

# Disable git status
POWERLINE_GIT=0

Troubleshooting

Prompt symbols not displaying correctly

• Make sure your terminal supports UTF-8
• Try installing a powerline-compatible font like https://nerdfonts.com
