I do the same thing with SSH sessions (no hostname if local). Also:

* username if it's not "me"

* indicator if in `screen` or `tmux` session

* `cwd`

* in reverse-video or bold, on terminals that support that, to stand out

All these things have been useful many times.

Most often, which is shells on local laptop, the prompt is only a reverse-video cwd. The extras appear for less-usual situations.

I should add Git info.
