I tried this command
echo ‘PS1=“[\d]\u@\h:\w$”’ >> ~/.profile

The terminal name change to this [\d]\u@\h:\w$
Can someone please help me on this?

I think you are using the wrong quotes. You should use double quotes " so that the shell can interpret the escape sequences correctly. Here’s the corrected command:

echo 'PS1="\[\d\]\u@\h:\w$ "' >> ~/.profile
