Displaying GIT Branch Name In Your Console

So, if you had been taken the gateway drug of GIT recently, then you probably feel the sake of branches and there's a little trick for you dear fellow.

Put (or change) the following stings in your ~/.bashrc file and you'll get a nice enhancement on your console prompt which will show your current git-branch when you're in a directory which is under git.

function git_branch {
  git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1) /'
}

PS1='\[\033[0;37m\][\[\033[01;36m\]\W\[\033[0;37m\]] \[\033[0;32m\]$(git_branch)\[\033[00m\]\$ '

This is quite handy when you use the branches feature actively.
