bashrc.md

First off, I shamelessly stole this from http://www.bramschoenmakers.nl/en/node/624 But I wanted to be able to find it quickly * ssh into your Homestead vagrant box * Update the Ubuntu packages with `sudo apt-get update` * Install bash-completion with `sudo apt-get install bash-completion` * Open up your .bashrc file by with `vim ~/.bashrc` * Toward the top (somewhere above where the `PS1=` is) add this ```shell # Bash completion if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then . /etc/bash_completion fi export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1 ``` (The if statement checks on if the package installed) * On the way down the page, might as well uncomment `force_color_prompt=yes` (remove the hash from the first character of the line) * Below that you will find ``` if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' else PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' fi ``` You will need to add in `PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w\[\033[01;33m\]$(__git_ps1)\[\033[01;34m\] \$\[\033[00m\] '` which for me looks like ``` if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then #PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w\[\033[01;33m\]$(__git_ps1)\[\033[01;34m\] \$\[\033[00m\] ' else PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' fi ``` when I am done. * Save that file and at the prompt type `source ~/.bashrc` to reload it. * If you go into a directory with git you will see what branch you have checked out as well as a `+` if there are files to add (`git add --all`) and a `*` if there are uncommited files (`git commit -m ':cake:'`) There you go!
