Bash prompt with Git and autocompletion

First install HomeBrew and then use brew to install the bash-completion package

brew install bash-completion

After that you can open up your ~/.bashrc file and add the following:

# Load git prompt that display current branch etc
source /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt.sh

# Define a nice prompt with git prompt inside it
PS1='\[\033[1;34m\]\w\[\033[0;35m\]$(__git_ps1 " (%s)") \[\033[1;36m\]$ \[\033[0m\]'

# Enable bash completion via brew install bash-completion
# It will load all completions defined in /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/
if [ -f $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion ]; then
  source $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion
fi

Open up a new terminal Cmd+n and it should be working.
