Changing the command prompt of Terminal
I have found myself to grow fond to CentOS's command prompt which looks like the following:
[user@host directory]$ cmd
I, personally, do not like how Mac OS X Terminal is laid out, which is:
host:directory user$ cmd
Is there any way to change the prompt of Terminal's commands to make it look more like the first one? I am very new to these things.
If you are using bash, simply do PS1='[\u@\h \w]$ '
More details and options in man bash (search for PROMPTING)
If tcsh, do man tcsh and search for "prompt"
