Terminal Home Prompt












0















Somehow, in my MacBook Pro, I inadvertently caused my Terminal Prompt default to change from Dea-MBP:/deafroggatt$ to Dea-MBP:/deafroggatt Deafroggatt$



when I send command in Terminal, cd ~/, the prompt returns to Dea-MBP:/deafroggatt$



How do I correct the default prompt in the Terminal program and is this current default causing other problems.
