Change prompt to user-like prompt

[pierrepo]

The current prompt in the terminal is root@localhost:~/tutorial#

Would it be possible to change this prompt to a more user-like prompt?

• replace # by $
• change user from root to robert, alice or bob...

Changing the login user might be the ultimate solution. It will also ensure the starting directory is /home/robert/tutorial instead of /root/tutorial that is not realistic.

Also changing localhost to sandbox could be nice ;-)

Good idea, I wonder if it would be too slow to create custom users with useradd at runtime.
Changing localhost to sandbox is definitely doable :)

For the image issue mentioned in IFB-ElixirFr/sandboxbioscenarios#21, I would recommend updating <img> to <Image>, I just pushed this change: 3de2d96. This makes the image larger and you can click on it to zoom in on it, as you can see at https://sandbox.bio/tutorials/ifb-linux-basics-2/1.

To change the prompt, you can always just type:
PS1="$ " # or use whatever your favorite prompt is.
Not sure about the login user setup and whether a file is retained between sessions to store a change more permanently.
