UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Currently, when I cd to a directory I get the directory path in the command prompt, making it very long. I would like to change it so the path is not displayed.

If I am in directory ~/tatsh/hstmy/test, I just want my prompt to be the last directory name as shown just below

I am now trying to show the last two directories using the following in my .bashrc

I have tried this but is not working

Code:

uPath='pwd | awk -F\/ '{print $(NF-1),$(NF)}' | sed 's/ /\\//''
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME} ${uPath}\007"'

Open .bashrc file located in your home directory. And edit variable 'PS1' to something like this PS1='\u@\h \W $'
