How would you change your prompt to have it display the current time (hour and minute) and the full path of the current directory?

I tried using following command:

Code:

export PS1="$(date +%k:%M:%S) $ "

but it gave me a fixed time in prompt whereas my objective is to get the current time everytime.

Code:

$ export PS1="$(date +%k:%M:%S) $ "
