System wide custom bash prompt

Question

1. I would like to have a system-wide custom prompt
2. Added . /path/to/prompt.sh to my /etc/bash.bashrc but prompt remains unchanged
3. I have some scripts in /etc/profile.d that tried to . /path/to/prompt.sh but also prompt remains unchanged
4. Placing . /path/to/prompt.sh in ~/.bashrc was the only one that worked, but I would have to specify it for every single user

I recall reading somewhere Ubuntu restores to the default prompt, is this true? Any way to overcome this?

I have had this problem for a long time, thought I wanted to settle it for good.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I eventually found a workable way this time How do I restore .bashrc to its default?

Modify /etc/skel/.bashrc, which will be used by all newly created users.
