For Mac, you need to create a .profile file in your home directory.
This is what I’ve done on mine…
For normal user:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
export PS1="\[\e[00;32m\]\u\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\]@\[\e[0m\]\[\e[01;37m\]\h\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\]:\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] \[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;32m\]\\$\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] \[\e[0m\]" # Customisation of 'ls' command export CLICOLOR=1 export LSCOLORS="ExGxBxDxCxEgEdxbxgxcxd" alias ls='ls -GF' |
For root:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
export PS1="\[\e[00;31m\]\u\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\]:\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] \[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;31m\]\\$\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] \[\e[0m\]" # Customisation of 'ls' command export CLICOLOR=1 export LSCOLORS="ExGxBxDxCxEgEdxbxgxcxd" alias ls='ls -GF' |
