I have used mysql for WINDOWS and have never experienced it before..

I installed latest XAMPP 7.2.12-0 ( mysql-8.0.13-macos10.14-x86_64 also..) on MAC 10.12.6.
MySQL Database didn't work so changing mysql port to 3307 worked. Then I opened xampp > xamppfiles > bin > mysql
I have never set up for host name or password. I don't know I am doing right..

    You are trying to start the mysql shell from within the mysql shell. Type SHOW DATABASES; instead and you will see that you're already logged in.

After typing this shell command:



$ mysql -u root -p 


The prompt changes from $ (or #) to:



MariaDB [(none)]> 


At that point, you should type SQL statements, not try to re-enter the "mysql" commandline tool.



The "shell" is very much like "cmd" in Windows, so I am surprised that you went astray.
