I'm moving from bash to zsh and getting stuck on the prompt. My Manjaro defines it one way, Ubuntu another.
So I like, e.g. the prompt called "clint". But it's not exactly what I want. I can find more or less adequate resources that help me define my own prompt, but I don't know how this particular one is composed.
Where can I find its definition?
zsh stores its prompt setups and defintions in /usr/share/zsh/functions/Prompts/.
So if you want to take a look what prompt clint does behind the curtains, first find the right file:
$ ls /usr/share/zsh/functions/Prompts/*clint* /usr/share/zsh/functions/Prompts/prompt_clint_setup And open it in your favorite text editor.
echo $PS1 And to find where it is defined, try the commmand below:
grep 'PS1' $HOME/.bash{rc,_profile}
