Long ago I remember trying to figure out where to put PS1, since it did work in either one, but it wasn't clear where it really belonged. On one PC I have this: --------------------------------------------------- [tim@rocky ~]$ cat .bashrc# .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi export PS1="\[\e[44m\][\u@\h \w]\$\[\e[0m\] " # Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging feature: # export SYSTEMD_PAGER= # User specific aliases and functions --------------------------------------------------- (Root gets a red highlight, instead, it makes a good warning, as well as making it easier to find the various prompts and inputs when scrolling through.) And this: --------------------------------------------------- [tim@rocky ~]$ cat .bash_profile # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin export PATH --------------------------------------------------- But... isn't PS1= an environment variable? And the .bash_profile comment would seem to suggest they belong in there. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
