Thx to all and especially to Jack: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bashrcgenerator.com_=DwIDaQ=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A=1s18G4I-TMUkFYYV7_GRfJCXhhj41z_T3_4XvUqaS-o=JVAL0tewStSZNWlB6sfoqsO9QUbGyk8q1tJOZ1bhSl4=  
 displayed most common bash promt as first 
example, same like i wanted:


export PS1="\u@\h:\w\\$ \[$(tput sgr0)\]"

I inserted that to ~/.bashrc , now works! :)

Hello,

how can I customize the bash/ terminal promt  always

[root@arthur Desktop]#

to

[root@arthur /home/user41/Desktop]#

or root@arthur:/home/user41/Desktop#

?



Try editing your ~/.bashrc

Look for a line that looks like this:

 PS1='$\u@\h:\w\$ '

Then tack on PWD like this:

 PS1='$\u@\h:\w\$PWD$ '


That should do it or at least get you close enough that a web search can 
get you the rest of the way.


Hope that helps.

The thing you want to edit is called the PS1 variable.

You can read about customizing the prompt on the Arch Wiki:
