Over a year later and the 1st method worked for me thanks.

Was not sure but tried method 1. It worked. Thank you!

The first worked for me, but the second didn't work. My bash_profile is empty so I'm guessing my zsh shell isn't referencing from it.

did not work for me.. haven't changed my name :(

Your command didn't work for me but worked with : export PS1="🚀~# ";clear;

the first method did not work. I also tried the second method but after I type enter the line with bash_profile,  this comes up:

E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name "~/.bash_profile.swp"

I tried entering uppercase E to edit, and following the steps but nothing changed


now when I enter the vim bash_profile line, there are two lines but nothing can be edited
