A friend asked me about how to change bash’s prompt color after you logged in, regarding my previous post.
I utilize a bash PS1 generator, just play around with the options and copy the Result code into the clipboard.
Next step, after you logged in, open with your favorite editor file named .bashrc:
[shell]
$ vi ~/.bashrc
[/shell]
Paste the Result code from the PS1 Generator:
[shell]
# Custom bash prompt via kirsle.net/wizards/ps1.html
export PS1="\[$(tput setaf 1)\]\u@\h:\[$(tput setaf 7)\]\W\\$ \[$(tput sgr0)\]"
[/shell]
then, execute bash to see the result:
[shell]
$ exec bash
[/shell]
All done. 🙂
