Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I was referencing the Mobian WIKI and came across some code that allowed current battery status being showed within the command line. Thought to see if it worked within Manjaro Phosh and to my surprise it does. Looks like it colorized the bash session as well.
Not sure if I can post the Mobian WIKI on here but here are the step to recreate.
You will want to edit the following file
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
– Add the following to the end of this page –
# -= start battery prompt =-
battery_status(){
BATTERY=/sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-battery #this is for pinephone and pinetab
BATSTATE=$(cat ${BATTERY}/status)
CHARGE=$(cat ${BATTERY}/capacity)
NON='\001\e[0m\002'
BLD='\001\e[1m\002'
RED='\001\e[1;31m\002'
GRN='\001\e[1;32m\002'
YEL='\001\e[1;33m\002'
COLOUR="$RED"
case "${BATSTATE}" in
'Charged')
BATSTT="="
;;
'Charging')
BATSTT="+"
;;
'Not charging'|'Discharging')
BATSTT="-"
;;
*)
BATSTT="*"
;;
esac
# prevent a charge of more than 100% displaying
if [ "$CHARGE" -gt "99" ]
then
CHARGE=100
fi
if [ "$CHARGE" -gt "24" ]
then
COLOUR="$YEL"
fi
if [ "$CHARGE" -gt "34" ]
then
COLOUR="$GRN"
fi
printf "[${BATSTT}${COLOUR}${CHARGE}%%${NON}]"
} #end of battery_status()
if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ];
then # you are root, set red colour prompt
PS1='$(battery_status)\[\033[1;31m\]\u\[\033[0;32m\]@\h\[\033[1;34m\] \w\[\033[0m\]\$ '
else # normal user
PS1='$(battery_status)\[\033[1;36m\]\u\[\033[0;32m\]@\h\[\033[1;34m\] \w\[\033[0m\]\$ '
fi
# -=end battery prompt=-```
