Add branch name to terminal git (MacOS X)

git-branch-color.md

Add branch name in terminal

add this in ~/.bash_profile

Git branch in prompt.

parse_git_branch() {

    git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'

}

export PS1="\u@\h \W\[\033[32m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "

Notes:

Depending on configuration changes you may have made previously you may already have a PS1 variable being exported. In this case you will need to add \$(parse_git_branch) somewhere in the existing value.

The \[\033[32m\] parts set the color of the branch text. If you prefer another color check online for a reference on valid values.

The \ in \$(parse_git_branch) is important to ensure the function is called each time the prompt is displayed; without it, the displayed branch name would not be updated when, for example, checking out a different branch or moving in and out of a Git repository directory.`
