Git PS1 Prompt

Customize your (GIT) PS1 prompt to show you when you are working inside GIT repository directories. You can copy below script and add it to you ~/.bashrc file

Re-open your terminal or: $ source ~/.bashrc to load your new ~/.bashrc

Only interested in a custom PS1 prompt, look here: Custom PS1 Prompt

# bash function returning the git branch as a label
parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}

# Where you can change the prompt colors
export PS1="\u@\h \[\033[32m\]\w\[\033[33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "

# Or if you like more colors (Dark terminal background)
export PS1="\[\033[1;34m\][\[$(tput bold)\033[1;37m\]\u\[\033[01;34m\]@\[\033[01;37m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[38;5;39m\]\w\[\033[1;34m\]]\[\033[1;33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[1;37m\]\$\[\033[00m\] "
