Why Linux Developers Should Use GitPrompt

Too Long; Didn't Read

For the past 23 years, I’ve been a Linux developer (I started with Linux version 1.2.1). I <em>live</em> in the command prompt. Because of that, I want the prompt itself to look nice, and to provide useful information at a glance. Therefore, I wrote a script called gitprompt, which customizes the prompt. I’ve been using it at work for a while, and a number of my coworkers noticed it and asked for a copy. So since I know there’s at least some amount of interest in it, I’m publishing this brief article about it, in case you want to try it out for yourself.
