SERVER_ENV

The prompt can change the color of the servername depending on whether you are in a production or staging environment. It uses $SERVER_ENV to do that.
In order to set this property for all users you can add /etc/profile.d/20_server_env to your servers, containing SERVER_ENV=production or SERVER_ENV=staging. The default $HOME/.profile and the one in this repo will automatically include all files placed in /etc/profile.d/, so you can use it to e.g. add guards to various commands that should be run with great care on production servers.

home/profile also uses this variable to test whether you are on a remote server. This could very likely be achieved in a more elegant manner, so feel free to send a PR.

Customization

$HOME/.localenv
