Customize Bash prompt and show Git branch
In ~/.bashrc, I set PS1 to:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[0:36m\]\u\[\033[00m\]@\h \[\033[0:33m\]\w\[\033[00m\] $(__git_ps1 " (%s)") \n\[\033[1:35m\]\$\[\033[00m\] 'About colors
Colors are set with:
\[\033[1:36m\]\1:36 is the code for cyan.
If a color is set for an element, it applies to the following elements. To “end” the color add
\[\033[00m\] right after the element.
