Does anyone know of a shell that would show a series of breadcrumbs as I navigate into/out of various servers, like this:

Home > Build Machine > Vagrant > Docker-base

Hopefully it could auto-detect logging in and out of various boxes and display the hostnames. Perhaps with a simple "no circular links", one could just try and monitor the hostname, but I don't know if there is a shell that can easily act as a 'parent' to the other shells on these various systems so that it can query hostname and/or other item. Any thoughts?
