Hard time getting my prompt

Hi, @fixit7 :slight_smile:

If what you want is that your prompt shows as:

~/Documents$

... instead of appearing as:

andy@andy-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~/Documents$

... then I believe you have to do a variation of @tkn's excellent suggestion. Namely, you should add the following lines to your .bashrc:

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
    PS1='\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
    PS1='\w\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt

I hope this helps :slight_smile:
