Ubuntu equivalent to windows cmd command

Question

I was just wondering if anyone knows the Linux equivalent to the " prompt" and "title" command in cmd. Thanks

Answer 1

title in cmd seems to be a command for changing title of terminal, in bash, you can do this:

echo -ne "\033]0;The Message You Want\007"

terminal under linux do not have the command prompt, but you can set PS1 variable:

PS1="the prompt you want"

For the variables which can be used in PS1, you can try

man bash

and search for the prompting section
