Keep powerline prompt on ssh












0















I have a powerline bash prompt in iterm2 on my MacOS host and I want to keep the prompt when I ssh into different servers.



I regularly ssh into: a local headless vm, a server for school assignments, and a seedbox, and I'd rather not keep 4 different configurations synced, plus I can't install powerline on my school's server.



Is there some way to keep my prompt when I ssh to a different machine?
