The MacOS Memo
From ZENotes
To change your terminal prompt (& use bash):
- switch to bash with
csh /bin/bash
- exit terminal & open it again
- create a .bashrc file with, ie :
# configure my multi-line prompt PS1=' $PWD ==> '
Then macos will superbly ignore it. Go to here to not re-invent the wheeel like I just did :

Or set in
source /Users/regie/.bashrc && clear
in the terminal settimgs / Profiles / Shell ; uglier but quicker.
General feeling : shit keyboard, dust and liquid swallowing huge vents, updating process stressfull with many reboots and still progress bars
