I'm using iTerm2 on MacOS Sierra. I try to edit the PS1 in variable .bash_profile to be
PS1="\h:\W \u \$"
but in terminal I get the promp
\h:\W \u \$ instead of Simon:~ simon $
Any ideas why it behaves like this?

Did you try setting `PS1` in `.bashrc` instead? – JFMR Sep 15 '17 at 09:39

I tried in prompt: `export PS1="\h:\W \u \$"`. Same result as before. – deFunc Sep 15 '17 at 09:41

Maybe you are using something else than bash? Double check with: env | grep SHELL – Oo.oO Sep 15 '17 at 09:44

Ah it outputs `SHELL=/bin/zsh` wanna have `SHELL=/bin/bash` how to make it so? – deFunc Sep 15 '17 at 09:46

In iTerm2 you can use bash instead of zsh by setting inside profile settings
iTerm2 -> Profiles -> Choose Profile on left -> Command: /bin/bash
Simply tell iTerm2 to use arbitrary Command instead of Login shell.
