Add git branch to PS1
Step 1: Open file ~/.bashrc
Step 2: Uncomment forece_color_prompt=yes
# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
force_color_prompt=yes
Step 3: Comment PS1 style. Add the following code to end of ~/.bashrc
# Add git branch if its present to PS1
parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[01;31m\] $(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w $(parse_git_branch)\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt
Step 4: Run the following command
> source ~/.bashrc
