Handy little title setter that makes sure that the title always reflects where you are and what is going on it git in that directory

.bashrc

# Title setting function
function git_title {
# See if we're in a git path
if [[ $(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2> /dev/null) = true ]]; then
  # Set the title to <git parent folder name>:<current branch> like "mycoollib:master"
  echo -ne "\033]0;$(basename `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`):$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)\007"
else
  # Set the title to the present working directory
  echo -ne "\033]0;$PWD\007"
fi
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=git_title
