The default bash prompt ($PS1) includes control characters that set the window title to the current working directory on each printing of the prompt. "~" just happens to be the directory that you start in, but it should update as you move to different directories. You will have to modify your prompt if you want different behavior. PS1='\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ ' The '\w' is replaced by the current working directory (see "man bash") and the '\e[0;' and '\a' sequences are the beginning and end of the "set window title to this" escape sequences, respectively. The '\[' and '\]' bracket the escape sequence to tell bash that it is a nonprinting set of characters so that it doesn't get confused about the cursor position.
