How might I turn off (or change) the display of the current path in a
terminal window?
For example I have one terminal window with:
rgm@LX140e-3:~/data/htt/Projects/Critical/drafts/draft-ietf-drip-rid/dki-try2$
That is the whole line is taken up with the current directory!
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]$
That is quite better than what I hand coded, as it tracks changes in the
current directory.
Maybe to add coloration.
