Show full path in iterm


Show Full Path in Terminal


Opern Iterm, duh!

Go to you home direct
Type: cd ~
Type: mate .bashrc
Type: export PS1=" "
Between the quotation marks, you can add the following lines to customize your Terminal prompt:
  • \d – Current date
  • \t – Current time
  • \h – Host name
  • \# – Command number
  • \u – User name
  • \W – Current working directory (ie: Desktop/)
  • \w – Current working directory, full path (ie: /Users/Admin/Desktop)
export PS1="\u@\h\w$ " which will look like: Admin@MacBook~Desktop/$ "

mate is text mate you need to install it in mac to make it work or you can also use free editors like nano, vi/vim.

That's a great tip!!! I looked it up in their documentation but didn't find it!!!

Note that nowadays (2015, on Mac OS Yosemite), the way to do it is by modifying ~/.bash_profile rather than ~/.bashrc .

THANKS A BUNCH, YOU GROOVY GUY!
