Hi @severe geyser. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems like you're trying to change your prompt back to the normal one. In Warp, you can configure this in the settings. There's a section for the prompt. If by "normal" you mean no pills, just the prompt symbol, you should be able to adjust this in the settings as well.

However, please note that the specific commands you mentioned (rye init and rye sync) are not discussed in the provided knowledge sources, so I can't provide specific guidance on those. If you're still having trouble, I'd recommend reaching out to the Warp community or support for more detailed assistance. Source (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1194728734998142997)

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

#

The git:(main) part of your prompt is showing you the current branch you're on in your git repository. If you want to change your prompt back to the default one, you can do this in Warp's settings.

Here's how you can access it:

  1. Right-click on the prompt area above the input and select "Edit prompt".
  2. Alternatively, you can select "Prompt" from the Settings > Appearance page.

From there, you should be able to select and customize the default prompt or select the Custom prompt (PS1).

If you want to see your username in the prompt, you might need to customize your prompt accordingly. Please note that the specific steps to do this might vary depending on your shell and configuration. Source (https://docs.warp.dev/appearance/prompt#how-to-access-it)

If you want to revert back to the default prompt in Warp, you can follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the prompt area above the input and select "Edit prompt".
  2. Alternatively, you can select "Prompt" from the Settings > Appearance page.
  3. From there, you should be able to select the default prompt.

If you're using a custom prompt and you want to revert it back to the default one, you might need to remove or comment out the lines in your shell configuration file (like .zshrc or .bashrc) that are setting the custom prompt.

Please note that the specific steps to do this might vary depending on your shell and configuration. If you're not sure how to do this, you might want to seek help from a more experienced user or from the Warp community. Source (https://docs.warp.dev/appearance/prompt#how-to-access-it)

You went 'up' one directory from your user...
You can run cd by itself, no space or name or cd ~ to ALWAYS go to your user folder that you want in this case

severe geyser
#

instead of username

night kiln
#

because the prompt isn't configured to show your username and it's sset to show you when you're in a git repo... this means
A.) You need to configure your prompt different
B.) Based on both screenshots you may have cloned a git repo into your home directory which isn't a good thing

I'm assuming you're a bit new to the command line (based on your comment of 'first day of coding'?

ok... first, we can check a few things to make sure you didn't really damage anything (I don't think you did, you just confused it a little)

ls -al

This will display all the files and folders (including hidden ones in your current folder... We have to figure out, aside from .git what may have been cloned in here by accident.

severe geyser
#

i think i figured it out

night kiln
#

ok... so to fix the system from thinking your $HOME folder is a git repo, do the following:

# WARNING THIS IS A DESCRTUCTIVE COMMAND
rm -rf .git

After it finishes it will either remove that from the prompt instantly or it will whenever you run your next command no matter what it is

thanks a ton

#

had some additional files as well i deleted those

night kiln
#

which ones, because some of those are required 🙂

You can use a site like this to create the prompt you want and have it display your username, etc... and if you want, once you've selected how you want it if you come back here I can explain how to make that a permanent change

#

oh, ok.. 🙂
