<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category: Linux]]<br /> PS1 is the variable name for your bash prompt layout and colors. By default, my Debian 7.4 install has no colors on the <br /> command prompt and could use a little touching up to make it more fun to use.<br /> <br /> [[File:Bash-ps1.png|bash prompt PS1]]<br /> <br /> Here is my PS1 bash prompt line for Debian (should work fine on all Linux).<br /> <br /> *Copy and paste this into the end of your ~/.bashrc file<br /> export PS1=&quot;\[\e[31m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[36m\]@\[\e[m\]\[\e[32m\]\h\[\e[m\] \[\e[35m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[34m\]\\$\[\e[m\] &quot;</div>
