It cuts out the fluff
To me it looks like the exact opposite.
- jpttsn 13y agoI had the same feeling. I already know my username, and if there's a directory name before my prompt the "in" is implicit.
- tekromancr 13y agoDo you know your username when you are using connected to a tmux over ssh that may or may not have another, very similar, server running inside of a screen?
- josso 13y agoWhich is why you setup your shell (bash/zsh/fish) to check for the existence of $SSH_CLIENT. If it exists, you can assume you're connecting via SSH and add username and hostname to $PS1.
- gwu78 13y agoYou are not alone. I'd go further and say anyone who prefers Bash is someone who does not mind a little or even a lot of fluff.
