# PROMPTING
# When executing interactively, bash displays the primary prompt PS1 when it is ready to read a command, and the sec-
# ondary prompt PS2 when it needs more input to complete a command. Bash allows these prompt strings to be customized
# by inserting a number of backslash-escaped special characters that are decoded as follows:
# \a an ASCII bell character (07)
# \d the date in "Weekday Month Date" format (e.g., "Tue May 26")
# \D{format}
# the format is passed to strftime(3) and the result is inserted into the prompt string; an empty format
# results in a locale-specific time representation. The braces are required
# \e an ASCII escape character (033)
# \h the hostname up to the first `.'
# \H the hostname
# \j the number of jobs currently managed by the shell
# \l the basename of the shell's terminal device name
# \n newline
# \r carriage return
# \s the name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the final slash)
# \t the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format
# \T the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format
# \@ the current time in 12-hour am/pm format
# \A the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format
# \u the username of the current user
# \v the version of bash (e.g., 2.00)
# \V the release of bash, version + patchelvel (e.g., 2.00.0)
# \w the current working directory
# \W the basename of the current working directory
# \! the history number of this command
# \# the command number of this command
# $ if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $
# \nnn the character corresponding to the octal number nnn
# \\ a backslash
# \[ begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal control sequence
# into the prompt
# \] end a sequence of non-printing characters
#
# The command number and the history number are usually different: the history number of a command is its position in
# the history list, which may include commands restored from the history file (see HISTORY below), while the command
# number is the position in the sequence of commands executed during the current shell session. After the string is
