h2. Useful git configuration settings

These options can be configured in your global git config file e.g. ~/.gitconfig on Linux:

<pre>

[user]

        name = Your Name

        email = your@email.net

[color]

        ui = true

[core]

        editor = vim

[fetch]

        prune = true

[merge]

        tool = meld

[mergetool]

        keepBackup = false

[status]

        showUntrackedFiles = all

</pre>

Or using shell commands e.g.

<pre>

git config --global fetch.prune true

</pre>

h2. Prompt with branch and dirty indicator 

<pre>

vim ~/.bashrc

</pre>

<pre>

function parse_git_dirty {

    [[ $(git status 2> /dev/null | tail -n1) != "nothing to commit (working directory clean)" ]] && echo "*" 

}

function parse_git_branch {

    git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e "s/* \(.*\)/[\1$(parse_git_dirty)]/" 

}

PS1='\[\e[1;34m\]\u@\h:\w\[\e[0;32m\]$(parse_git_branch)\[\e[1;34m\]\$ \[\e[m\]'

</pre>
