There are plenty of solutions online but I can't wrap my head around on HOW to add it to the PS1 variable inside the bashrc. If anyone knows, please tell us all in the comments here!

For bash https://stackoverflow.com/questions... might help. I myself use oh-my-zsh on most machines which just add everything I already want. Hope this helps :)

@filthyranter PS1 is just an environment variable, you can just override / export it in bashrc. Only applies in a new instance of bash, (or after resourcing the bashrc)

@zlice do I put it in the .bash_profile and refresh my bash profile? It did not work

You can also totally just install zsh and oh-my-zsh on the server

You need to use the PROMPT_COMMAND to set the PS1 after every execution of a command

Btw, how do you have IP ranges >255?
