Git aware prompt
Setting up git-aware prompt
Working with Git is impressive, although regularly switching branches, check out, commit is bothersome. Every time you have to copy paste long branch's name or run git status to see where your working one is dirty, or git branch see a list of branches.
The answer to this is to have the terminal furnished with a autocomplete function. It can:
- Autocomplete branch/command and everything else.
- See your current working branch
- Let you know if your current working branch is dirty or not

How to install
Go to your bash terminal and run:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bri0/git-aware-prompt/master/install.sh | sh -
After that, please restart your terminal.
If you cd to a Git working directory, you can see the current Git branch name displayed in your terminal prompt. When you are not in a Git working directory, your prompt works like usual.
You can also use tab to autocomplete your branch names
Please let me know if the install does not work for you.
