 Other plugins, such as the Tanzu `management-cluster` plugin, can create a
 context as part of creating a Tanzu cluster.
 
+#### Including context information in your prompt
+
+Here are a few examples of how to add the context information to your prompt.
+You can easily adapt these examples to your own taste.
+
+Prefixing the existing main prompt:
+
+```console
+# bash
+PS1="$(tanzu context current --short) $PS1"
+# zsh
+PROMPT="$(tanzu context current --short) $PROMPT"
+# fish
+functions --copy fish_prompt fish_prompt_ori
+function fish_prompt
+  echo "$(tanzu context current --short) $(fish_prompt_ori)"
+end
+
+# Example result for a main prompt that was '$ '
+my-org:my-project:my-space $ _
+```
+
+Prefixing the existing main prompt but not showing the org-name:
+
+```console
+# bash
+PS1="$(tanzu context current --short | cut -d: -f2-) $PS1"
+# zsh
+PROMPT="$(tanzu context current --short | cut -d: -f2-) $PROMPT"
+# fish
+functions --copy fish_prompt fish_prompt_ori
+function fish_prompt
+  echo "$(tanzu context current --short | cut -d: -f2-) $(fish_prompt_ori)"
+end
+
+# Example result for a main prompt that was '$ '
+my-project:my-space $ _
+```
+
+Setting the reverse prompt (not available for `bash`):
+
+```console
+# zsh
+RPROMPT="<$(tanzu context current --short)>"
+# fish
+function fish_right_prompt
+  echo "<$(tanzu context current --short)>"
+end
+
+# Example result for a main prompt that was '$ '
+$ _                            <my-org:my-project:my-space>
+```
