Add colors to Git
With color it's better readable. Just execute this following commands :
git config --global color.ui true git config --global color.diff true git config --global color.status true
Display current working branch in Terminal
Always good to know in which branch you will add your changes...
Add following snippet in .bash_profile file. (vi ~/.bash_profile)
parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}
export PS1="\u@\h \W\[\033[32m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "
You do not need to restart Terminal or anything for the changes to take effect, just do source ~/.bash_profile.
note: it works only if you don't use "export PS1" before in your file.
