How do I shorten my git bash prompt from something like this

$

to something like this

Malik@test$

I am using git bash on windows with git version 2.21.0 (26-02-2019)

In Git Bash:

cd ~
notepad .bashrc

In notepad, add the line PS1="foobar>" (replace foobar> with whatever text you want)

After saving ~/.bashrc, in Git Bash, run the command:

source ~/.bashrc

You may find this online .bashrc generator useful to experiment with to find a prompt you like.

An alternative answer is to go to C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile.d and open the git-prompt.sh file. It contains the default configuration/prompt for Git Bash.

if test -f /etc/profile.d/git-sdk.sh
then
    TITLEPREFIX=SDK-${MSYSTEM#MINGW}
else
    TITLEPREFIX=$MSYSTEM
fi

if test -f ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
then
    . ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
else
    PS1='\[\033]0;$TITLEPREFIX:$PWD\007\]' # set window title
    PS1="$PS1"'\n'                 # new line
    PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[32m\]'       # change to green
    # PS1="$PS1"'\u@\h '             # user@host<space>
    # PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[35m\]'       # change to purple
    # PS1="$PS1"'$MSYSTEM '          # show MSYSTEM
    # PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[33m\]'       # change to brownish yellow
    PS1="$PS1"'\W'                 # current working directory
    if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
    then
        GIT_EXEC_PATH="$(git --exec-path 2>/dev/null)"
        COMPLETION_PATH="${GIT_EXEC_PATH%/libexec/git-core}"
        COMPLETION_PATH="${COMPLETION_PATH%/lib/git-core}"
        COMPLETION_PATH="$COMPLETION_PATH/share/git/completion"
        if test -f "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
        then
            . "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-completion.bash"
            . "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
            PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[36m\]'  # change color to cyan
            PS1="$PS1"'`__git_ps1`'   # bash function
        fi
    fi
    PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[0m\]'        # change color
    # PS1="$PS1"'\n'                 # new line
    PS1="$PS1"' $ '                 # prompt: always $
fi

MSYS2_PS1="$PS1"               # for detection by MSYS2 SDK's bash.basrc

# Evaluate all user-specific Bash completion scripts (if any)
if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
then
    for c in "$HOME"/bash_completion.d/*.bash
    do
        # Handle absence of any scripts (or the folder) gracefully
        test ! -f "$c" ||
        . "$c"
    done
fi

In my configuration, I commented out the user@host<space>, the MINGW64 and changed the working directory to its basename by changing \w to \W.

The:

LAPTOP-7R9912OI MINGW6

is the name of your PC.

Search in setting

'about your PC'

and look for

rename

There you can rename your pc and it should change the username in git-bash
