My ISP has switched to jailshell at some point, and now when I SSH in my prompt is always:
-jailshell-3.2$
I'd like it to be:
`pwd` $
Where do I configure this? I seem to recall some kind of config file, but I can't find it.
Execute:
touch ~/.bashrc; echo 'PS1="\w $"' >> ~/.bashrc
This will create the file .bashrc
in your home directory if it doesn't already exist, and append PS1="\w $"
to it.
The environment variable PS1
defines your prompt, and the escape sequence \w
translates to the current working directory (pwd).
A full list of escapes sequences can be found here.
To make the shell reflect the changes made in .bashrc
without restarting the session, run source ~/.bashrc
.
