Show Full Path in Terminal

Type: nano .bashrc
Type: export PS1=" "
Between the quotation marks, you can add the following lines to customize your Terminal prompt:
  • \d – Current date
  • \t – Current time
  • \h – Host name
  • \# – Command number
  • \u – User name
  • \W – Current working directory (ie: Desktop/)
  • \w – Current working directory, full path (ie: /Users/Admin/Desktop)
export PS1="\u@\h\w$ " which will look like: Admin@MacBook~Desktop/$ "
type . .bashrc
