Today I saw that when I open a terminal, the bash prompt displays username@228~:
. When I type in pwd
I get /Users/username
so I was wondering where does this 228 come from? It wasn't like that couple of days ago and I am not sure what introduced this change.
My OS is OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
.
In .bash_profile
I have export PS1="\u@\h\w: "
.

From the list of prompt strings (see PROMPTING in
man bash
):Usually, this gives a nice short hostname but in your case leads to the slightly confusing
228
.
