It looks like below.

I prefer to have a colorful terminal window. So I goole it and find the solution:

• open ~/.bashrc in an editor
• copy this and add it at the end of .bashrc file:

PS1='\[\033[1;36m\]\u\[\033[1;31m\]@\[\033[1;32m\]\h:\[\033[1;35m\]\w\[\033[1;31m\]\$\[\033[0m\] '

• save the file and restart bashrc:

source ~/.bashrc

After that, the terminal window changed as below:

The user name, host name, path have different colors.

There is option to use bash’s official color scheme.

Open ~/.bashrc in text editor and uncomment line:

#force_color_prompt=yes

Save then execute source ~/.bashrc

The terminal window will be changed to :

It has color promot, but it is not that easy to read.

The content of .bashrc looks like below:

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
force_color_prompt=yes
PS1='\[\033[1;36m\]\u\[\033[1;31m\]@\[\033[1;32m\]\h:\[\033[1;35m\]\w\[\033[1;31m\]\$\[\033[0m\] '

It provides a colorful terminal look.

How to fix the problem of .bashrc not loading?

If you always want the content of your .bashrc file processed, you might add something like the following to your .bash_login file:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
fi

If you don’t have this file, just add a new one at your home directory.

Save the content and exit the terminal.

Re-connect the VPS. It works.
