Jun 5, 2021 at 17:55 comment added datalifenyc Solutions using PowerShell can be found here: Configure Windows PowerShell to display only the current folder name in the shell prompt. Example provide by @Jelgab: Function Prompt { "$( ( get-item $pwd ).Name )>" }
Jun 5, 2021 at 15:53 comment added datalifenyc Has anyone been able to develop a similar solution for Windows Command Prompt and/or PowerShell? When I use for %I in (.) do prompt %~nxI$G, the current folder is displayed, but it is not dynamic. So, it won't change when I change folders. Reference: Get current folder name by a DOS command?

Jul 8, 2016 at 20:36 comment added twalbaum Thank you for bringing me back to this. Quoted the $PWDs to allow for spaces and included the final command. My current prompt is more complex than this, therefore the need for the prompt_command definition. Otherwise, PS1=... works on its on.

Jun 21, 2016 at 12:37 comment added LarsH Also, this command fails when $PWD contains a space.
Jun 21, 2016 at 12:27 comment added LarsH Is defining prompt_command() supposed to do something, on its own? It doesn't for me. Did you mean to also use prompt_command() in redefinitions of cd & co, like Gilles did? Or did you mean PROMPT_COMMAND='...'?
