  1. Edit your .bashrc file (gedit ~/.bashrc) and change your PS1 there to like as below or add it at the end of the file:

    PS1='\u@\h:~\$ '

    Save the file, close and reopen the Terminal or source it again(. ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bashrc) and see the changes. 

    \u - username of the current user (= $LOGNAME),
\h - the name of the computer running the shell (hostname),
\$ - display "$" for normal users and "#" for the root,
@  - display "@"
~  - display "~"
