Re: bash prompt question

* François Patte <francois.patte@mi.parisdescartes.fr> in comp.unix.shell:

Wanting to personalize my bash prompt I wrote in my .bashrc file (with
the help of "Learning the BASH shell"):

 export PS1='\[\e[1;35m\]\u@\h -\d- ${text} \W\[\e[m]\]\$ '

While it is useful to play with PS1 for learning purposes, to be able to customize
your prompt easily and in a powerful way, I advise the use of a framework prompt.
There are many of them, one I really like is Starship:
