depends on the terminal you are using, if it's bash, this explains it https://medium.com/@ajaykarwal/edit-the-terminal-prompt-name-on-macos-4d80163be6a1. For zsh I think it's the same but the file will be different

In terminal my Mac name appears as shown in the screenshot

what is "ryandebijiA-bendiannao" and how do I change it to literally anything else

 

it was also my computer name under sharing in system preferences, but I have since changed that to "Ryan's MacBook Air"

 

Thx in advanced 🙃

I see a lot of people put their computer here

Mine is an m1 macbook air xD

base model

 

planning to get an m1x mac mini when it exists for heavier video editing

 

Switched to mac from windows cause most of what I do is either internet browsing, photo editing or video editing and wanted Final Cut cause that magnetic timeline is NOT the same as ripple editing in resolve/premiere/vegas pro (a sad excuse of a NLE btw) and is much faster for MY workflow
