apples-MacBook-Pro:Desktop Parth$
Why does it say apples-MacBook-Pro here? Shouldn't it say Parths-MacBook-Pro since my account name is Parth?
Is this correct or my system prefs are wrong? Just curious!
Edit:
Recently my Mac was formatted and after that the service sender guys created an account whose name was apple
I did add a new account with name Parth but still it shows apples-MacBook-Pro
!! I checked and before the formatting it used to say Parts-MacBook-Pro:
That is your computer/Mac hostname
You could change it by going to System Preferences
-> Sharing
In the Computer Name
settings, press the Edit
Button
For further control that text at terminal. It is about setting the environment variable PS1
You could check your current PS1 value by running the command echo $PS1
Here is the reference about how and what could you set to your PS1
