@psk001 this worked for me on ubuntu 22.04
Add at the end of .bashrc file:

parse_git_branch() {
     git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}
export PS1="\u@\h \[\033[32m\]\w\[\033[33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "

Thanks a lot.

The default PS1 for Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS is \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ .
Based on your responses above, combined with the default PS1 value, the script I use is as below:

parse_git_branch() {
     git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}
export PS1="\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[33m\]$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\]\$ "

I tried every solution in the internet (including this) but it never worked for me. Still I can not see the branch

you and i, buddy. you and i.
