When you are connected via SSH, the environment variable SSH_CONNECTION |
| 14 |
is set. I store the color in a variable and set it to yellow if |
| 15 |
`[[ -n "${SSH_CONNECTION}" ]]`. I can't give you the exact snippet |
| 16 |
since I use Zsh, but it should be possible to use a variable as color |
| 17 |
in bash's prompt? |
