Customise Terminal

December 21, 2025

🎯 Goal

  • Hide @computername
  • Use a clean, professional prompt
  • Reload config safely

✅ Step 1: Open zsh config with vi

vi ~/.zshrc

✅ Step 2: Add the custom prompt

# --- Custom prompt ---

# Colors
BLUE="%F{blue}"
RESET="%f"

# Prompt with color
PROMPT="${BLUE}%1~${RESET} ❯ "

✅ Step 4: Save and exit vi

✅ Step 5: Reload the config

source ~/.zshrc

Your prompt updates immediately.

🔁 Do I always need to run source ~/.zshrc?

  • ✅ Yes → to apply changes now
  • ❌ No → if you open a new Terminal window
