Bash prompt

Submitted by robmarjot on
Dear supporters, The VM's bash prompts (SSH) are centrally managed (Puppet), but I guess there is a particular way to customize/configure the prompt. I would like it to look like default Ubuntu: [<username> <fullpath>]$ Preferably with colorized output. How can this be done? Thanks.

Hallo Robmarjot, You can customize the shell prompt by defining the PS1 parameter in the "~/.user_aliases" file, for example: PS1="\u@\h:\w\$ " Using a PS1-parameter like above should update the bash prompt like you requested. Kind regards, Simon Van Baelen
