If I may interject, the $(__git_ps1 ..) thing does not print escape sequences. The OP is using it incorrectly. A better way to use the escape sequence would be: (\[\033[31m\]$(__git_ps1 %s)\[\033[37m\]) The OP was embedding the escape sequence in the format string itself. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
