Throw this into your /etc/bashrc for all users to pick up this more interesting bash prompt. If you just want to test it out on a single user’s profile, add to ~/.bashrc (at the end is good).

# a ruley rule bash prompt
COLOR1="[33[1;37m]"
COLOR2="[33[0;37m]"
COLOR3="[33[1;33m]"
if [ "$UID" = "0" ];
then
COLOR2="[33[1;34m]"
fi
PS1="$COLOR2($COLOR1u@h$COLOR2)-($COLOR3W$COLOR2)\$ $COLOR1"
