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!

thanks 2 the person who wrote this!

“This is the thing: When you hit 28 or 30, everything begins to divide. You can see very clearly two kinds of people. On one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find … themselves and their dreams, people who know what works and what doesn’t, who have pushed through to become real live adults. Then there’s the other kind, who are hanging onto college, or high school even, with all their might. They’ve stayed in jobs they hate, because they’re too scared to get another one. They’ve stayed with men or women who are good but not great, because they don’t want to be lonely. … they mean to develop intimate friendships, they mean to stop drinking like life is one big frat party. But they don’t do those things, so they live in an extended adolescence, no closer to adulthood than when they graduated.  Don’t be like that. Don’t get stuck.
