Customizing GitBash Shell Prompt and Theme

As an example, lets assume we want to change / customize the following :

Change the Title of the GitBash window from default [MINGW64:/directoryName] to [Tushars Gitbash (Win64)]
Change the default prompt () to a customized prompt e.g [GitBash (Win64):> ]

👉 Note ($HOME/.bash_profile vs $HOME/.bashrc vs $HOME/.config):

The below described method only focusses on customizing the 'GitBash' prompt and NOT about customizing default 'Bash' prompt on Linux terminals. Hence this method uses the '$HOME/.config' folder for storing 'GitBash' prompt customization as per XDG Directory Specs. If you are looking for customizing default 'Bash' prompt for your Linux terminal you should be using '$HOME/.bashrc' for storing your customization and hence advised not to continue with this method.
