Changing user prompt terminal

itermterminalzsh

I am new to using macs. I was using the bash shell, but recently tried switching to using iTerm2 and zsh. Originally, it looked the way I wanted, but something changed and reformatted my shell.

Basically I want my user prompt when it opens to look like this… I want to go back to the original iterm2 and zsh defaults

Instead of the -> , my terminal has Username@PCname: ~%

Edit

ECHO $SHELL gives 

/bin/bash

more /etc/shells outputs: 

List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
one of these shells.

/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh

It looks like your shell is currently set to bash.

From the iTerm2 profiles menu select open profiles. Now you can either create a new profile or modify the default. If you click edit profile this will bring up a preferences window. On this configuration window you can set the "Command" to /bin/zsh.

Hope that works for you.
