how to change the displayed name in the terminal mac from the command line.
Use a text editor like vim to edit the .zshrc file
`vim ~/.zshrc`

If on vim press "i" to be able to edit

Export the PS1 and specify the desired string as shown below (foivos $) in my case:
`export PS1="foivos $ "`

If on vim press ":" and then "wq" to save

Activate the changes by
`source ~/.zshrc`

Or by opening a new terminal
