Linux terminal user@user-name












0















I installed oh-my-zsh, but in that process I messed up somewhere along the theme setting,(I don't know how) at the end I saw, that I had deleted part of the "sudo nano .zshrc (where you enter after the command)" and when I added the text back as it should be It worked fine and the theme changed. However while I was trying to fix it I uninstalled and reinstalled (or purged) "zsh", also I tried other commands (from where I guess this problem occurred) so after I fixed the problem with the theme, the terminal user on top showed instead of "@user-…" it was user(or name, not sure if I named it) @user-...



How do I get it back to @user... when I open the terminal and what does it mean to have another user@ at the front of the '@'?
