I use powerline-shell and my prompt looks like:



enter image description here.



How can I get rid of my name and hostname in the prompt?



I tried to search in .bashrc file for PS1 variables:



if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then

    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]u[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[00m]$ '

else

    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u:w$ '

fi


Which I have to edit to the goal?






customization bashrc ps1 powerline-plugin

    Since you are using powerline-shell, which claims to provide "A beautiful and useful prompt for your shell [that is] easy to customize and extend", then I would venture that the answer to your question is in the powerline-shell documentation. It almost certainly won't help to change your bash prompt, as the whole point of prompt beautifiers is that they replace the bash prompt.

    Well the sequence for hostname would be h - so for example the default Ubuntu ~/.bashrc (copied from /etc/skel/.bashrc) includes u@h in its PS1 string - yours does not appear to do the same

You need to change this in your powerline config file which is normally located under ~/.config/powerline-shell/config.json.



If you haven't one yet you can create one using the following commands:



mkdir -p ~/.config/powerline-shell

powerline-shell --generate-config > ~/.config/powerline-shell/config.json


Then simply remove the segments you dont want like username or hostname.

            Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...
