I’m Andrew Kember: Christian; husband; father; son; techie.
Read more about me or me. Use my projects, read my blog and see what caught my eye.

I always forget how to make my bash prompt just the way I like it, so here it is for posterity. In ~/.bashrc:

PS1='\[\e]2;\u@\H \w\]\[\e[32m\][ ] \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\] \$ '

This gives me a prompt like this with the time and path:


[11:00:48] ~/code/database_info
$

And a terminal title like this:
username@host path

Here’s the long guide to the codes, and here’s the one I use from IBM.
