Depending on your terminal, you *may* be able to have the full path showing in the title bar, and just the current directory name at the command prompt. Changing the \w to \W in your PS1= .bashrc string does it for some of them (just shows the last directory of the filepath). By way of example, typing this into my command line let me change the current prompt without making permanent changes to my settings: export PS1="[\u@\h \W]$ " [username@hostname directory]$ -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
