Initial Code 
function setroot
{
web_root=$1
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:$(echo \w| sed s@'$web_root'@@g)\$ \[\033k\]$(basename \w)\[\033\\\]'

Initial URL 

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
This is for debian but can be adapted with little trickery to any Linux distro. This enables changing the root of a shell so that the directories displayed are not too long.

Useful for dir-verbose frameworks like symfony or when managing a huge website directory.

Usage: setroot $PWD

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Title
                                        

                                    

                                    
Change root in a bash shell.
