Showing the git branch name in the bash prompt
Another more thing I can’t live without any more. I put this little snippet into my ~/.bash_profile, and the command prompt will show me the currently checked out Git branch.
parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}
export PS1="\u@\h \[\033[32m\]\w\[\033[33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "
Got it from here.
