I’ve never liked the standard colour path of OSX terminal and, not surprisingly, I didn’t like even the one that comes within Yosemite.

If you are like myself and you want to add some colours in your terminal, here is how you can do it:

• open the Terminal
• create a file called “.bash_profile” using your favourite text editor
• add these lines into it:

export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=ExFxBxDxCxegedabagacad
export PS1="\[\e[00;31m\][\h@\u]\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] > \[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;32m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] : \[\e[0m\]"
alias ll='ls -ltr'

• save and close the file
• restart your Terminal

The final result will be a Terminal coloured like the following one, showing “[hostname@user] > path :”

If you want to make your own combination of colours you can easily get your config using this web app https://bashrcgenerator.com/
