Changing Ubuntu terminal name in 10 seconds

Hi , people who's reading this blog. i am gonna show you two methods which can change the terminal name temporarily and permanently.

Let's get started.

Temporary method:

it's very easy just type

export PS1="terminal:-"

in your command prompt and that's it you've temporarily changed your terminal name😁

example:

the major problem is when you close and open terminal again or open a new terminal it rollbacks to it's original name.

To make a Terminal name permanent(don't worry you could still change it) First thing you need to do is

type "nano ~/.bashrc"

(you can use any GUI editor like nano,vi,gedit...etc)

something like this will open

scroll down until you see this

in that if statement PSI="...." you could see something like this "\u@\h" this basically means your username and host name which you see in terminal

modify that only that part example

before:

after:

press CTRL+X save it and after that type

"source ~/.bashrc" to compile the saved changes

you could see terminal name has changed

to change back to your original terminal name just type "\u@\h" where you modified

And that's all hope it helped😃
