I came up with this: export PS1="\[\e[31;40m\]\h:\W \u\$\[\e[0m\]\ [\e[0;33m\]$(__git_ps1 "(%s)")\[\e[31;40m\]$\[\e[0m\]" . It works, only I get
Macintosh:~ aaronmeurer$$ when I am not in a git directory. Do you know if it possible to get rid of the extra $ when I am not in a git directory. Also, is there any way to get a different color if I am in a rebase (does PS1 have an if-else construct, or does can it auto update from something?)? Thanks for the link too. Autocompletetion in git is awesome. By the way, I think the \[\e[0m\] in my PS1 puts it back to the default color.
