Hello Greg,


Could you please explain more into detail on how to obtain a PS1?

That's a normal part of the default bash prompt. (Perhaps your
employer would prefer that you remove it?)

Could someone please explain how to hide or setup cygwin properly to not show this?

Run 'man bash' and look for PS1. Remove the '\u@\h' part. To make
the change permanent, set your own PS1 in '~/.bash_profile'. This
isn't cygwin specific, so you can google for more details.
