I started the terminal on my mac and I realized that now my computer has a name foreign to mine.
I'm the only one who use my MacBook. I've been trying to change my Mac's name and it's not possible. I need your help. Thank you so much.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Mojave (10.14.1)
Gi to System Preferences > Sharing and in the Computer Name field change it back.
The Terminal shell (usually bash) does a reverse DNS lookup on your IP address, and the host name is the result it got back. Depending on your network setup, the name may have come from your router, your DNS server, or a server on your ISPs network.
If changing the computer name didn't work after flushing the cache or a restart, you can also explicitly set the PS1 environment variable with the desired prompt in .bash_profile (a normally invisible configuration file).
I did already, it doesn't work for me...
Thanks for your reply, maybe do you have another solution?
My Mac device name has been changed.
