Hi Jimeh,

your plugin is great & it is working but I'm getting the whole directory structure in bash prompt like: mac-user-name: /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/projectname (branch-name) $

Can I just have the branch-name like: mac-user-name:projectname (branch-name) $

I'm on OSX El Capitan. Thanks & thank you for this plugin

Hey, you can get back to full default OSX prompt style by setting PS1 like so:

export PS1="\u@\h \W \[$txtcyn\]\$git_branch\[$txtred\]\$git_dirty\[$txtrst\]\$ "

The difference from the OSX variant in the readme is the use of \W instead of \w. I'll update the readme to use \W as that is now the default behavior of OSX as of quite a few years back.

Great, working fine.

Thanks a lot.
