Changing the \w to \W in your PS1= .bashrc string does it for some of them (just shows the last directory of the filepath). By way of example, typing this into my command line let me change the current prompt without making permanent changes to my settings: export PS1="[\u@\h \W]$ " [username@hostname directory]$
That is quite better than what I hand coded, as it tracks changes in the current directory.
Maybe to add coloration.
