A script that lets you add the current VMware Tanzu Mission Control (TMC) context, management cluster and provisioner to your Bash prompt.

Currently supporting Starship as well as your generic $PS1.

Inspired by the super useful kube-ps1

1. Make sure you have the tmc CLI installed.
2. Clone this repository
3. Source tmc_prompt.sh, e.g . /path/to/tmc_prompt.sh. You can also source this script from your Bash runcom, e.g. ~/bashrc to persist the prompt across bash sessions and add any of the configuration overides explained below.
4. Run tmc_configure_prompt to install the prompt

tmc_configure_prompt shows or installs a custom prompt for TMC. Any further overrides can be performed in ~/.config/starship.toml as described in the Starship documentation.

Even if you're just using the basic Bash prompt, tmc_configure_prompt can update your $PROMPT_COMMAND environment variable and provide a helper function to toggle the visibility of the TMC prompt.

Of course, you can also simply source tmc_prompt.sh and set $PS1

source /path/to/tmc_prompt.sh
export PS1=tmc_prompt

Sourcing tmc_prompt.sh provides the following functions

Executing tmc_prompt.sh directly will echo the TMC prompt string.

There are some options to override the construction of the prompt.

The TMC prompt format is defined using the following tokens

The default settings can be overridden by setting the following environment variables:

Use tmc_defaults on to display the TMC defaults and tmc_defaults off to hide them.

Use tmc_prompt on to make the TMC prompt visible and tmc_prompt off to hide it.

You can use the tmctx, tmcmc and tmcp utilites to help switch between TMC CLI contexts, management clusters and provisioners.
