That horrible bash prompt PS1

[held]

All right now I'm not pointing fingers, because I made my share of MiSTakes along the way.
But something led /etc/profile to evolve into this:

Code: Select all

if [ "$PS1" ]; then
	if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
		export PS1='$(pwd)# '
	else
		export PS1='$(pwd)$ '
	fi
fi

Could we please change it into this, which does exactly the same thing:

Code: Select all

export PS1='$(pwd)\$ '

or even better for those with multiple MiSTer's (lucky bastards )

Code: Select all

export PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '

Is there a place where we can submit these? because I can't find it.

A pull request at github will work better. Anyway you can put that configuration into ~/.profile

Something similar is already been done in the MiSTer github as part of the MiSTer scripts called make_linux_nice.

Yes that worked thank you. I'm kinda allergic to Microsoft. So anyone already on there, feel free to submit this as your own.

Yes, Linux should be nice. I totally agree, but this lacks some elegance imo. Its a nice script though
