I am trying to change my command prompt to show the working directory But my working directory path gets very long.

Lets say I have a variable MY_WORK_DIRECTORY point to a large path /Users/foo/work/project/../

Now in the prompt i can say PROMPT='%~%# '

so that give a relative path like ~/work/project/app whenever i am in app

how can i set a prompt in which i could see MY_WORK_DIRECTORY/app whenever i am in my work directory

Is this a request for `bash`? – G. C. Aug 07 '23 at 08:10
