unix - How do I permanently change the terminal prompt in iTerm2 using zsh? -

in terminal prompt under default profile shows:

last login: sat jun 21 17:43:00 on ttys000 ➜ ~

when type:

➜ ~ export ps1="|%*| ~ "

i receive this:

|17:44:11| ~

that's want displayed. how create permanent, won't have type every time?

i have tried following: inserting export ps1="|%*| ~ " .zsh, under prefrences >> profile >> custometheme , default >> command >> checked command inserted export ps1="|%*| ~ " no luck.

this has nil iterm2; it's purely zsh issue.

you need add together command

ps1="|%*| ~ "

to $home/.zshrc file.

followup based on comments: best bet add together line @ or near end of .zshrc file. if else in .zshrc settings $ps, either straight or indirectly (by invoking script), want desired value override that.

there's no need export value of $ps1.

there other places set command. see zsh manual (or type info zsh) more details. far can tell, zsh doesn't pay attending .zsh file (unless tell to).
