## Git bash prompt
This sorts out the problem of lines not wrapping properly.

export PS1='\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\[\e[32;1m\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w \[\e[33;1m\]$(__git_ps1 "[%s] ")\[\e[32;1m\]\$ \[\e[0m\]'

Copy exactly into your .bashrc.  Note that __git_ps1 is a builtin (comes with git I assume) feature that provides the branch you are on if you are in a git area.  There's no need for a separate function to obtain this information.

(and to change the colours and background if you want to.)
