How do I remove "minimal bash like line editing is supported?"

I've seen this message a lot lately when I try to do something in the terminal. How do I fix it?

There are a few ways that you can remove the minimal bash like line editing is supported message. One way is to add the following to your .bashrc file:

export PS1='\w \$ '

Another way is to use the readline library.

You can remove the minimal bash like line editing is supported message by opening the .bashrc file in your home directory and commenting out the following line:

enable bash completion in interactive shells

#if ! shopt -oq posix; then

if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then

. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then

. /etc/bash_completion

fi

#fi

To do this, open the .bashrc file in a text editor and add a # at the beginning of the line. Save the file and exit the text editor.
