How can I change Shell Prompt about vhs HOT 18 OPEN

Any pointers here ? My bash prompt always start with bash-5.0$ and I can't change it...

Tried:

• setting Set Shell "bash --norc --noprofile" to no effect
• exporting PS1 in hide mode:

Hide
Type "export PS1='$ '" Sleep 50ms Enter
Sleep 1s
Show

but this still shows the line bash-5.0$ export PS1='$ '" on top of the gif.

Hey there! Thank you for the issue, I believe we should probably add some sort of setting for the PROMPT or allow setting environments (or both!):

Proposed solution:

Set Prompt "> "

Or:

Env PROMPT "> "

I'm leaning towards the Env solution as it provides other environment to be set, and it is a more flexible solution.

Both sound like a good solution. Still wondering how to this day all the examples gif are starting with a blue arrow ...

Currently the prompt is hardcoded in, so it should be using that prompt:

and the default shell is bash.

What version of VHS and ttyd are you using and which operating system?

Weird, for me the default shell is bash-5.0$ ...

I see, @ocervell do you have anything in your ~/.login / ~/.bash_login out of curiosity?

We use a --login shell and I'm wondering if perhaps the prompt is being overridden there. If that's the conflict then we can perhaps override with VHS by setting the prompt after that.

Nope, the files don't even exist on my machine.

We have this in the ~/.bashrc:

if [ "$ASCIINEMA_REC" == "1" ]; then
    PS1='\$ '
elif [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt

# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
case "$TERM" in
xterm*|rxvt*)
    PS1="\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \w\a\]$PS1"
    ;;
*)
    ;;

I'm facing the same issue as @ocervell.
