I have a pro prompt now, courtesy of @bjeanes and the Internet at large. The current directory is a git repo, and the red word is the current branch.
Install SIMBL (I used 0.8.2) and TerminalColours. Tweak the black colour to be dark grey so it’s actually visible, and the overly dark red and blue while you’re at it. Then export your PS1:
GIT_PIECE='$(__git_ps1 " \[${COLOR_RED}\]%s\[${COLOR_NONE}\]")'
export PS1="\u\[${COLOR_GREEN}\]@\[${COLOR_NONE}\]\h \[${COLOR_GRAY}\]\w\[${GIT_PIECE}\] \[${COLOR_GREEN}\]\$\[${COLOR_NONE}\] "
To get those COLOR_ variables, check out bashrc in my dot-files repo.
