Colourful SSH prompt
11-29-2021
So you don't think you're executing that command locally when you're logged in remotely.To clearly see that you are logged in to a computer via SSH, you better have a clear prompt.

For a nice SSH I do the following things:
- Make sure that .bashrc is executed after logging in via SSH (it is not by default). Then you at least have the path, etc. set correctly in your SSH window.
- Show with a clear color in the prompt that you are working remotely.
I do that by modifying the .bash_profile file (on the remote PC you log in to). For me, .bash_profile was empty.
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
