How to change the prezto and zsh theme prompt?

Question

I installed yadr and prezto to style the zsh prompt.

How do I change the format of the prompt:

from --> taciano at asimov in

to --> taciano@asimov

I've tried to modify and I couldn't. I can't find where to make this adjustment.

Either set `PS1` to a different value or edit the prompt definition directly, see `info zsh "prompt themes"` — Panki, Mar 15 '21 at 08:05

Use the steef theme as the basis for a new theme, say, taciano:

% cd $ZPREZTODIR/modules/prompt/functions
% cp prompt_steeef_setup prompt_taciano_setup

In your .zpreztorc file, find
```
zstyle ':prezto:module:prompt' theme <value>
```
and change <value> to taciano.
In the file $ZPREZTODIR/modules/prompt/functions/prompt_taciano_setup, change the line that sets the PROMPT variable.
Restart your shell.

Thanks. My mistake was in not having checked the line to set the PROMPT variable. Now it worked! Still, I find these scripts pretty confusing. – Taciano Morais Silva Mar 17 '21 at 03:32
