Have finally updated to Ubuntu 10.10, taking the opportunity to completely clean out. Of course, this means reconfiguring everything - these two git settings are the ones that I most missed

The following adds an indication on your command-line as to the branch you are currently on. Massively helpful.

parse_git_branch() {

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

}

export PS1="\[\033[00m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \[\033[31m\]\$(parse_git_branch) \[\033[00m\]$\[\033[00m\] "

The next simply sets a global config for colours when doing things like diff and status

git config --global color.ui "auto"
