Just want to drop this here for those who like zsh's "candy" and projects like "oh-my-zsh"... There is "bash-it" - "a shameless rip off of 'oh-my-zsh'":

https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it

I use it in all the non-root shells I use, including those I'm forced to use for my day job, like Windows Subsystem for Linux's bash. Works great.

So, you, too, can have it all with nice colors, fonts, ascii art-enhanced status prompts, plugins, aliases and autocompletion for a blizzard of tools, and still be 'stuck' with the ubiquitous Bash. :) Cheers for the new version of Bash! :)

To use alongside bash-it or oh-my-bash (https://github.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash), I would also highly recommend ble.sh:

Bash Line Editor (ble.sh) is a command line editor written in pure Bash which replaces the default GNU Readline.

It gives you features like:

- Syntax highlighting
- Enhanced completion (syntax aware also the auto-complete feature supports automatic suggestions of completed texts in the same way as in fish and zsh-autosuggestions)
- Enhanced Vim editing mode
- Status line
- History share
- Right prompt
- Transient prompt
- Xterm title
