Do you wonder how to hide your current working directory in terminal? If you’re in ~/Workspace/firstDir/secondDir/thirdDir
, then it would show terminal as something like this:
januaditya@janu-rmbp:~/Workspace/firstDir/secondDir/thirdDir$
If you want the shell to show just the last directory, which in this case is thirdDir
, you can add this to ~/.bash_profile
:
export PS1="\W \$"
Then, source the bash using:
$ source ~/.bash_profile
Now, your terminal would look like this:
thirdDir $
Look what you can do more on command prompt (UNIX/Linux).
