prompt: Change the prompt by adding a specific text first.
$ prompt ${text} $P$G
try on your machine

This command is used to customize the command prompt in a command line interface or terminal.

  • "prompt" is the command itself that is used to change the prompt settings.
  • "${text}" represents the text you want to display before the prompt. This can be any desired text enclosed within double quotes.
  • "$P" is a special code representing the current drive and path.
  • "$G" is another special code representing a greater-than symbol (>). It is commonly used to indicate that the system is ready to receive a command.

When this command is executed, it will change the prompt to display the specified text followed by the current drive and path, and finally a greater-than symbol. This helps users have a customized and informative prompt to interact with the command line interface.
