Changing command prompt when inside shell #4

Closed Zimmi48 closed 4 years ago

Zimmi48 commented 4 years ago

Hello,

Thank you for providing this tool. Long wait-times to run nix-shell have always been a major source of pain to me.

One thing that I appreciate about nix-shell that I don't find in cached-nix-shell is the fact that the command prompt changes when inside the shell. It helps to know that we are in a modified environment. Is there a way to configure this?

Thanks!

I've added default PS1 in ade493239d20458658db6b994a9bc40724e67ebb. It looks like this: [cached-nix-shell:/home/user]$. You can customize it using this trick: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1268#issuecomment-449661822.
