You just didn't quite get it is all. It's all in there.

Here's lots of color and the home dir coming out the way you want. The "\w"
is what you were asking for but would not have given you the
"/home/gabriel" as it would have expanded to "~". So instead we use the
$PWD to get what we want. Of course it has to put in there as ${PWD}.
export PS1=$'[\[\033[1;34m\]\\u@\\h\[\033[0m\]
\[\033[1;31m\]${PWD}\[\033[0m\]]\[\033[1;33m\]\\$ \[\033[0m\]'
Don't forget to put this in your .bashrc, of course for an xterm you may
need to do something with the PROMPT_COMMAND variable.
Feel free to tone down the color some. ;)
True enlightenment is left as an exercise for the reader. But you should
find the link provided will answer any/all of your questions.
