Hello I've got the following pieces of code in my .bashrc/ .bash_profile:

setxtermtitle() { echo -ne "\033];"$*"\007"; }

case $TERM in
     xterm*)
         PS1="\[\e]0;\u \h: \w\a\]\w:"
         ;;
     *)
         PS1="\w"
         ;;
esac

if [ $UID = 0 ]; then
    PS1=$PS1'$SHLVL# '
else
    PS1=$PS1'$SHLVL> '
fi
export PS1
