Set color bash prompt according to active virtualenv, git branch and return status of last command.
#!/bin/bash
#
# DESCRIPTION:
#
# Set the bash prompt according to:
# * the active virtualenv
# * the branch/status of the current git repository
# * the return value of the previous command
# * the fact you just came from Windows and are used to having newlines in
# your prompts.
#
# USAGE:
#
# 1. Save this file as ~/.bash_prompt
# 2. Add the following line to the end of your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:
# . ~/.bash_prompt
#
# LINEAGE:

Thanks a lot. I changed the PS1 line to keep the prompt and the cursor in the same line:

  PS1="${PYTHON_VIRTUALENV}${GREEN}\u@\h ${YELLOW}\w${COLOR_NONE} ${BRANCH}${PROMPT_SYMBOL} "

TODO: make a color scheme for a terminal with light background too.

This broke for me when I recently updated to git 1.8.5.5 (via macports). To fix it, I amended lines 71-74 to look like this:

      branch_pattern="^(# )?On branch ([^${IFS}]*)"
      if [[ ${git_status} =~ ${branch_pattern} ]]; then
        branch=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
      fi

Thanks for posting this script. It's great!

Line 55 is not working properly if the branch is behind the tracked branch. I have corrected the regex:

remote_pattern="# Your branch is (ahead|behind)+ "

Thanks a lot.

Just a quick note on fetching branch name in git (v1.9.1) - line number 71-74.
It will not work for version newer than 1.7 (based on my try outs).

Here is my command which version independent.
branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" # replace all 4 lines with this.

Thank you for your very helpful code.
When I apply it to my terminal in Ubuntu 14.04. It doesn't work for Git. It doesn't show git branch name and remote status.
Thanks to this error, I learned a lot. I changed some code and debug with bash script (which is the first time I work with bash script ^_^). I had a lot of fun.

Thank you very much.

Using ubuntu 15.04 and the git branch name is not shown. @canhnht, do you mind sharing your fix?

You can find a version here with the above mentioned fixes that works for me on Ubuntu 15.10 with git 2.5.0.

The big issue with this is that it's incompatible with conda or any other prompt changers.

Hi @hultberg, Sorry for the delay 😉
Here is my bash_aliases.sh file.

For all languages of git

branch=`git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/\1/'`

Excellent work, adding docker-machine to the prompt

  # Add docker-machine to terminal prompt
  # check if `docker-machine` command exists
  if command -v docker-machine > /dev/null; then
    # fetch the first running machine name
    local machine=$(docker-machine ls | grep "Running" | head -n 1 | awk '{ print $1 }')
    if [ "$machine" == "" ]; then
      DOCKER_MACHINE=''
    else
      DOCKER_MACHINE="$YELLOW\$(__docker_machine_ps1) "
    fi
  fi

  # Set the bash prompt variable.
PS1="
${DOCKER_MACHINE}${PYTHON_VIRTUALENV}${BRANCH}${GREEN}\u@\h${BLUE}\w${COLOR_NONE}
${PROMPT_SYMBOL} "
}

Regards!
