By default the terminal prompt string is long and shows
parthkabra@Parths-MacBook-Pro Folder ~
I prefer something cleaner without my username:
FolderName/
In addition, I want the folder name to be bold, and a new line after every command.
To do this, I edit ~/.zshrc
:
# New PS1
NEWLINE=$'\n'
FOLDERNAME='%1d'
FOLDERNAME='%1~'
# Leave line and bold folder name
export PS1="${NEWLINE}%B${FOLDERNAME}/%b ";
This can be opened easily with VS Code with : code ~/.zshrc
.
