.bash_profile PS1 to show current directory folder and a $ MAC osx

Question

In my .bash_profile I currently have

PS1="$ "

which in my terminal returns '$ '

I want to show the current folder as well.

if I run the command, pwd /Users/Me/Sites/

I would want my bash prompt to return 'Sites$'

Thanks for all your help.

Answer 1

Note that if you don't want brackets or colors surrounding the current directory, you can use the simpler:

export PS1="\W$ "

Answer 2

try this:

PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] [\w]\[\033[00m\]'
