If you do not like your command prompt in UNIX or Linux, you can change it with the export PS1= command. In the example below, I started off with a command prompt of UBUNTU > :
UBUNTU >
... then I changed it to show the name of the directory I was in. Here is one way to do this:
UBUNTU > export PS1='`pwd` > '
/home/andrew > cd Java
/home/andrew/Java > cd /
/ >
/home/andrew > cd Java
/home/andrew/Java > cd /
/ >
... and here is another:
/ > export PS1='$PWD > '
/ > cd
/home/andrew > cd Java
/home/andrew/Java >

/home/andrew/Java > export PS1="Andrew's PC: "
Andrew's PC:
