How to get date and time displayed for each command

[JKAD]

I came across a video where a guy had the date and time for each command he entered displayed
command line time and date.PNG
does anyone know how to do this?

By the looks of it, thats ZSH (rather than bash), with a custom theme.

You would need to change your shell to zsh (and I would highly recommend 'oh my zsh' afterwards too - too http://ohmyz.sh/).

This was how i did mine in bash

root@ocalhost:~#leafpad .bashrc

once leafpad is opened I browse to the condition
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi

in this condition i commented out the line (this is the default primary prompt string) below
# PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

this will ignore the line and leave it as a backup just in case you want to revert back. a new line was added just below the above line:

PS1='\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h[\d \T]\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]#'

logout of linux and then login..thats it ...open a terminal..you will see the primary prompt string as
