I used to like colorized bash prompt on my Linux boxes, whereas default Terminal.app prompt will give you a bit boring colors.
You can change that with below snippet of code in your .bashrc
PS1=’\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[01;34m\] @ \[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[00;34m\][ \[\033[01;34m\]\W \[\033[00;34m\]]\[\033[01;32m\] \[\033[00m\]‘
If you want to test above prompt without doing any changes to your current/default prompt, you can just copy/paste below in your prompt and press [Enter]:
export PS1=’\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[01;34m\] @ \[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[00;34m\][ \[\033[01;34m\]\W \[\033[00;34m\]]\[\033[01;32m\] \[\033[00m\]‘
