I am using bash on Windows and the bash prompt string I see is too big: code2care@LAPTOP-3UHXXRYY:/#, I would rather like it to be a hash (#) or a dollar ($) sigh, let's see how we can change it,
- Open bash,
- Type su root to switch to root account,
- Now type nano ~/.bashrc to open the bashrc file where we will set the PS1 prompt configuration,
- At the end of the file type PS1="\e[0;32m $ \e[0m",
- Press Ctrl + O and Enter, and press Ctrl + O to exit,
- Either close the bash terminal or type source ~/.bashrc to apply changes,
- You prompt now should be in a $ green color.
