How to print current bash prompt?

Question

The question is simple. I want to evaluate current value of PS1 in my bash script.

All materials on google point to tutorials on pimping it up, but I wa

Answer 1

I would get it like this:

echo $PS1

And then edit it with an editor. After that for the test (this is set while the session is active):

PS1='\[\033[1m\]\[\033[34m\]\u\[\033[90m\]@\[\033[01;35m\]\h:\[\033[01;32m\]\W\[\033[0m\]$ '

(\u is for user, \h is for host, \w is for full path and \W is for short path)

And if I like it I will make it permanent by changing the value of PS1 in ~/.bashrc

P.S.:

If you want to see all global variables:

printenv

OR:

printenv
