Removing computer name from terminal Right now, this is what my Terminal shows:

MyName's-MacBookPro:location MyName$


I'd like for it to only show my name, so something like this:

MyName$


When I browsed online for a solution, they said to edit my .bashrc file. I added the following line to my .bashrc: 

export PS1="\u$ "


but there hasn't been any change, even after restarting Terminal.

This is the current contents of my .bashrc file:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
export PS1="\u$ "
Two easy options:


Move your changes from .bashrc to .bash_profile (and delete .bashrc)
Add a line source ~/.bashrc to ~/.bash_profile to make sure .bashrc is read during shell startup
