I wish to colorize my terminal while using interactive shell, namely the command prompt. I managed to do this using escape sequences:
PS1="\e[93m prompt> \e[0m"
I want to use tput instead of escape sequences. Like that:
PS1="$(tput setaf 1) prompt> "
However, this doesn't yeld any color.
I tried other tput subcommands in different ways. None of them gave any effect except of tput cols and tput lines which gave appropriate output.
How should I use tput properly in this case?
