What I did, was opened .bashrc with the text editor, used the Find 
function from the menu, to locate the applicable setting (the file is 
120 lines long), copied the
\D{%Y-%m-%d}
from your message, and replaced the
\d
in the applicable setting, and
replaced the
$
with
<space> '>'
(not sure how to correctly express that last line, but, I replaced the 
dollar symbol with a space, followed immediately by the "greater than" 
symbol)
