1. Create the files which you will need to copy later from git repository

touch ~/.git-completion.bash
touch ~/.git-prompt.sh

2. Update Completion file

Copy source from git-completion.bash file and paste it into your newly created file. Location of file:

gedit ~/.git-completion.bash

or

/home/{user}/.git-completion.bash

Update permission if required

chmod 755 ~/.git-completion.bash

3. Update Prompt file

Copy source from git-prompt.sh file and paste it into your newly created file. Location of file:

gedit ~/.git-prompt.sh

or

/home/{user}/.git-prompt.sh

Update permission if required

chmod 755 ~/.git-prompt.sh

4. Update .bashrc file

Be careful while doing below steps

Find force_color_prompt in your file and remove comment #.

Before

#force_color_prompt=yes

After

force_color_prompt=yes

Copy following code in the end of the .bashrc file.

source ~/.git-completion.bash
source ~/.git-prompt.sh

GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=true
export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
export CLICOLOR='Yes'
export LSCOLORS=gxfxbEaEBxxEhEhBaDaCaD

export PS1=$LIGHT_GRAY"\u@\h"'$(
    if [[ $(__git_ps1) =~ \*\)$ ]]
    # a file has been modified but not added
    then echo "'$YELLOW'"$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")
    elif [[ $(__git_ps1) =~ \+\)$ ]]
    # a file has been added, but not commited
    then echo "'$MAGENTA'"$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")
    # the state is clean, changes are commited
    else echo "'$CYAN'"$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")
    fi)'$BLUE" \w"$GREEN": "
