Prompt Statement

You have seen many times what the command line prompt for new commands looks like. For example, in a Hexlet exercises it looks like this:

/usr/src/app$

PS1 variable (stands for "prompt string") defines how the prompt will look like, and in this exercise we'll change it.

solution

In the solution file write a command that globally changes the value of the PS1, so that the prompt looks like this:

> tirion@app$

Look at the current working directory:

> tirion@app$ pwd
/usr/src/app

Look at the username we logged in with:

> tirion@app$ whoami
tirion
