Change username color in Terminal on Mac

Question

I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. How do I change the color of this whole line in the terminal?

user@MacBook-Pro ~ %

Answer 1

I tried all solutions above, but none of them work with new ZSH terminal on MacOS, so, I discover a new solution.

1. open terminal e go to the user folder with: cd ~;
2. create a new file called .zshrc with: touch .zshrc;
3. open the file with VI: vi .zshrc;
4. enter in the edit mode: press I key;
5. paste the following code with CMD + V:

NEWLINE=$'\n'
DATE=$( date +"[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S]" )
PROMPT="${NEWLINE}%F{yellow}${DATE} %(!.%F{red}.%F{white})%n%F{cyan}@%m %F{yellow}%d${NEWLINE}%F{reset}> "

6. quit of edit: press ESC;
7. save the changes and quit: press :wq;
8. close Terminal app and open again, you should see something like this:

Answer 2

You can use this generator for customize your PROMPT - https://zsh-prompt-generator.site/

1. cd
2. nano .zshrc
3. Paste your PROMPT(example - PROMPT="%(!.%F{red}.%F{white})%n%F{cyan}@%m%F{yellow}%~$%F{reset}")
4. Save changes and reload terminal.
