  • If you use this terminal escape sequence to set a null title (e.g., export PS1='\[\033]0;\007\]\h:\W \u\$ '), then your terminal emulator can set the window title as it sees fit. When you ssh to a remote host that sets the terminal title, your terminal emulator will show that, and when you logout, it will revert to using its own title. At least, that's how the macOS Terminal app works. Commented Apr 16, 2017 at 18:54
