Bash prompt with Git branch name & colors. It won't have much effect unless your system has the bash completion rules for Git installed. Add this to the end of your .bashrc file in your Home folder on whatever server you are working on. For it to take effect, you will have to log in again, or just run your .bashrc file.

bash-git-branch.sh

GITBRANCH=''
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion.d/git ]; then
    . /etc/bash_completion.d/git
    GITBRANCH='$(__git_ps1)';
