How to change the terminal to a beautiful command line prompt in Ubuntu 18

I reinstalled VMware and Ubuntu, but the command line prompt is too monotonous and not beautiful. How can I change it? So I searched the Internet.

1. Change the PS1 environment variable. Both of these are OK. I choose the first one:

 export PS1="\[\033[01;31m\]\u\[\033[00m\]@\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[00m\][\[\033[01;33m\]\t\[\033[00m\]]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]$ "
 export PS1="\[\e[32;1m\][\[\e[33;1m\]\u\[\e[31;1m\]@\[\e[33;1m\]\h \[\e[36;1m\]\w\[\e[32;1m\]]\[\e[34;1m\]\$ \[\e[0m\]"

2. Run ls-all as a normal user, select .bashrc and insert the export PS1= code above at the end of the file, then enter the following command to take effect.

source ./.bashrc

3. Then modify PS1 under root. Use the method on the Internet to insert export PS1 at the end of the /etc/profile file and then source it to take effect. However, it is troublesome to source it again every time you use the root connection in xshell.

At this time, you can find the .bashrc file in the root directory under root, add PS1 to it, and then source ./.bashrc, and it will take effect every time you connect.

In order to distinguish root from ordinary users, you need to change $ to #:

export PS1="\[\033[01;31m\]\u\[\033[00m\]@\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[00m\][\[\033[01;33m\]\t\[\033[00m\]]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]# "
