    So if you happen to use fish shell for your toolbox container environment, you should set the fish_prompt by modify `~/.config/fish/config.fish`:

    ```
    if status is-interactive
    # Commands to run in interactive sessions can go here
    function is_toolbox
    if test -f /run/.toolboxenv
    set toolbox_name (grep -E '^name="' /run/.containerenv | cut -d \" -f 2)
    echo " ❱ $toolbox_name"
    end
    end
    set TOOLBOX_NAME (is_toolbox)
    function fish_prompt
    if test -n "$TOOLBOX_NAME"
    set_color magenta
    echo -n -e "\n⬢ "
    set_color normal
    echo -n "["(whoami)"@"(hostname)"$TOOLBOX_NAME "(prompt_pwd)"]\$ "
    end
    end
    end
    ```
