Ubuntu 18.10 how to rename current terminal Tab title [duplicate]

I want to rename my current terminal tab - window title. Please help me how to do it either using CUI or GUI.

Solution 1:

This is a long standing bug that appears to have been 1st reported around 2016.

A currently viable workaround is to install mate-terminal which still has the ability to set the title of the terminal screen as reported by Erik B. Andersen in this bug report comment.

I have tested this workaround under Ubuntu 16.04 as well as 18.04 and can testify that it does indeed work as advertised.

The downside is that it requires the installation of other Mate related supporting packages.
