| Hi
when I open an xterm, I see
bash-3.1$
but I want it to be
~/curent_working_dir/ $
so I did
bash-3.1$ PS1='\w $'
~$
it worked, but when I open a new xterm. it goes back to
bash-3.1$
how can I make the changes permanent?
thanks

Put it in your .bashrc export PS1='\w $'

Put the command in a file that is sourced when you start a new
shell, e.g. ~/.bashrc.

in my xterm, in-order to make the command line different color, what
do I need to do?
