When I open my URxvt I can see this:
[username@Lenovo ~]$ ...
however, I can see someone can edit it to make it look like:
username ~ $ ...
with username formatted with a color. Is there a way to do it?

5Please search for answers before posting a question, this has been asked many times before. e.g. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12335/how-to-customize-bashrc-to-configure-command-prompt – icarus Nov 19 '16 at 17:53

It can indeed be done, as you know and saw. You can use ANSI codes for the color. PS1 is the variable used for the default prompt. – Julie Pelletier Nov 19 '16 at 17:53
