Dependencies & Quirks

First, you may not want some of this. And that's cool. I just like to keep a hosted copy here of my preferred configuration. Please change to suit your needs. My hope is that bits of this will be helpful for you.

Changing your username:

A few aliases here depend on specific mac username. To add yours, change the variable on line 6.

For true bash pimping:

See line 39 of the file. It is important that you clone this repo:

bash-git-prompt

Clone it to any location on your system and then point line 41 to that place. Specifically, to gitprompt.sh
