You can display that information in your prompt by adding '\#'' to your PS1
variable.[1] You can set custom prompt string variables in your .bashrc
startup file to have that change persist.[2]
I've never really messed with custom prompt variables, but I'm sure there
are more complex things you can do, if you want to get into that.
In general, you are much better off doing anything other than forking your
own version of Bash itself, if you can stand it.
