I always forget how to make my bash prompt just the way I like it, so here it is for posterity. In ~/.bashrc
:
PS1='\[\e]2;\u@\H \w\a\]\[\e[32m\][\t] \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ '
On Ubuntu:
PS1="\[$(tput bold)\]\[$(tput setaf 1)\][\h]\[$(tput setaf 2)\][\t] \[$(tput setaf 3)\]\w\[$(tput setaf 7
)\]\n\\$ \[$(tput sgr0)\]"
This gives me a prompt like this with the time and path:
And a terminal title like this:
username@host path
Here’s the long guide to the codes, and here’s the one I use from IBM.
