    I would like to have a PS1 prompt such that I get the following prompt everytime
    PWD
    >

    When we press enter it has to first show the current working directory followed by a new line having just '>' symbol.

    Eg:
    >
    > ls
    a b c dir1
    /tmp
    > cd dir1
    /tmp/dir1
    > cd dir2
    /tmp/dir1/dir2
    > cd dir3
    /tmp/dir1/dir2
    >

    Please advice
