Prepend current git branch in terminal [duplicate]
You can add the following code to you .bashrc file:
parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}
PS1="${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$(parse_git_branch) $ "
You can move around these component parts to configure to your tastes, for example to prepend $(parse_git_branch) and not show the user@computer part I used:
PS1="\$(parse_git_branch)${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\w$ "
Which displays:
(master)~/my_projects/project_x$
