I’m looking to display my current git branch in the bash prompt.
I can come close by following these instructions, but it does not
display the branch.

Would any of you happen to know how to do this?
Thank you much.

Probably best to ask on a Git list… sure lots of Rails users are Git
users, but all Git list subscribers are

If you are using zsh, take a look at “oh my zsh” :

I should have been clearer.
The time displays, as does the working directory. They are also both
color-coded. However, the current branch does not show (as I did
initially
mention).
I’m not on OS X but instead Ubuntu 10.04.

What does “come close” mean? The above directions worked exactly
as expected for me on OS X (10.6.6).

Yes, I missed that, as the subject line was truncated - perhaps
better to put it in the email body
On OS X:
07:02 ~ $ cd projects/current
07:02 ~/projects/current (user_customer)$ git-symbolic-ref
usage: git-symbolic-ref [-q] [-m ] name [ref]
07:06 ~/projects/current (user_customer)$
On Ubuntu 10.4
07:05 ~/projects/testcase $ git branch
That would seem to be the main problem. Anyway, this probably is
OT here, but feel free to send follow-up questions to me directly

The above tries to run git-symbolic-ref. On Ubuntu you’d want git
symbolic-ref
(i.e. without the first -).
