shell does not show file path

[GhostUser]

Hi, I'm using a acc that I created on the server. I just logged into the shell and it doesn't show the file path, it just shows "$"
Can I somehow let me see the file path in the shell?

Proxmox (Debian) does this by default and you can see how with cat /root/.bashrc.

If I edit it, nothing happends and if I put in the command to change it temporarily it fr just shows: \u@\h:\W:$

With root it works fine but with my created user it does not

Even copying the .bashrc file from root to my home directory doesn't change anything

This, of course, doesnt have anything to do with PVE as hypervisor and falls under basic Linux system administration.
There are many variable here, I am going to list just a few:
a) you are not using BASH, what does "echo $SHELL" say?
b) you did not set appropriate permissions on .bashrc that you copied from root home, what does "ls -al .bashrc" in your user directory say?
c) you didnt edit/set the PS1 value correctly, review everything again and present actual outputs of files here

good luck
