My bash prompt is not working in `screen`
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
On RedHat, screen resets my bash prompt. I set PS1=u@h:w in ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile.
I added shell -$SHELL as well to ~/.screenrc.
But, when I open a brand new terminal window, the prompt is correct, except in screen.
In screen I always get this prompt format: u@h>
How can I set the same prompt in screen?
bash gnu-screen prompt

I became so tired of the different startup files for shells that I do this:
- Create a file
~/.shrcand put all my config in it (including the prompt setting) - In
~/.profile,~/.bashrc,~/.bash_profileand whatever file the shell might read, add this line. ~/.shrc(note the dot) - And finally, forget all about the little details that I never quite grasp
In your case, I suspect that Bash wants ~/.profile (a wild guess, because as stated above I never got to fully understand those startup files), so adding that might make it work.
