Shows the branch name and colors based on the current git branch status

• red --> dirty (untracked or modified files)
• green --> clean
• yellow --> semi-dirty, clean branch but unpushed commits

Copied some code from the .bashrc, because login didn't worked.

The unix programm tput, usually found at /usr/bin/tput should be installed

Assuming you are using bash and you already have a .bashrc or .bash_profile in your HOME directory, simply add a line like this this file to integrate it:

source './.git-colored-branch-status'

Then add the following line to integrate the git_prompt. It is assumed that you define your PS1 in MY_PS1. Here is just an example:

MY_PS1="$NM[$HI\u $SI\w$NM]$IN"
PROMPT_COMMAND='PS1="$MY_PS1$(git_prompt): "'

Do not use PS1 in MY_PSI or directly PROMPT_COMMAND because this will result in an totally unexpected behaviour.

To let the changes have effect, you have to source your .bash_profile or .bashrc file:

source .bash_profile
