Join us on Gitter to get help and answers to your questions:

• Bash: for d in {1..6}; do touch file$d.md; git add file$d.md; git commit -m "adding file $d"; done
• PowerShell: for ($d=1; $d -le 6;$d++) { touch file$d.md; git add file$d.md; git commit -m "adding file$d.md";}

• LearnGitBranching
• GitSchool - Visualizing Git

This is one of our most requested command line secrets, so here it is. To show your active Git branch in your command prompt, you will need to do the following:

• If you are on a Mac, you can add the code shown below to your .bash_profile file.
• If you are on Linux, you will add the code shown below to your .bashrc file.
• If you are on Windows, you probably aren't reading this because Windows provides this behavior by default.

parse_git_branch() {
  git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}
export PS1="\w\[\033[36m\]\$(parse_git_branch) \[\033[00m\] > "

Or, another option:

function parse_git_branch () {
  git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}
 
RED="\[\033[0;31m\]"
