  ci = commit
  co = checkout
  br = branch
[color]
  branch = auto
  diff = auto
  interactive = auto
  status = auto
  ui = true

Git Branch Config

code ~/.bash_profile

paste

function parse_git_dirty {
[[ $(git status 2> /dev/null | tail -n1) != "nothing to commit, working directory clean" ]] && echo "*"
}
function parse_git_branch {
git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e "s/* \(.*\)/(\1$(parse_git_dirty))/"
}

export PS1='\[\e[1;37m\]\w\[\e[m\] $(parse_git_branch "(%s)" ) \[\e[1;32m\]\$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[1;37m\]'

This command will make your terminal refresh its configs and make the above ^ configs effective, if this for some reason does not work, just open and close your terminal again or do cd . which should also work as it will be trying to access the same folder that you are located right now and refresh the configs.

source ~/.bash_profile
