Please not that  if you haven t installed git through Xcode or home-brew  you ll likely find the bash scripts haysclarks refers to in  Library Developer CommandLineTools   and not in  Applications Xcode app Contents Developer   thus making the lines to include within  bashrc the following  if   -f  Library Developer CommandLineTools usr share git-core git-completion bash    then        Library Developer CommandLineTools usr share git-core git-completion bash fi  source  Library Developer CommandLineTools usr share git-core git-prompt sh  You ll need those lines if you wish to use git-prompt as well   1   https   stackoverflow com a 20211241 4795986

I know it s not a real answer     I had some strange issues with sourcing git-prompt sh in my  bashrc so I started to look for other solution  This one  http   www jqno nl post 2012 04 02 howto-display-the-current-git-branch-in-your-prompt  doesn t use   git ps1 and author claims it works also on Mac  for now it works perfectly on my Ubuntu and it s easy to tweak    I hope it helps

If you re hoping to use Homebrew to upgrade Git and you ve let your system become out-of-date in general  as I did   you may need to bring Homebrew itself up-to-date first  as per brew update  The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge  thanks  chris-frisina   First bring Homebrew into line with the current version     cd  usr local   git fetch origin   git reset --hard origin master   Then update Git      brew upgrade git   Problem Solved   -

You ve installed the version of git-completion bash from master - in git s development history this is after a commit that split out the   git ps1 function from the completion functionality into a new file  git-prompt sh    The commit that introduced this change  which explains the rationale  is af31a456   I would still suggest that you just source the version of git-completion bash  or git-prompt sh  that is bundled with your installation of git   However  if for some reason you still want to use this functionality by using scripts separately downloaded from master  you should download git-prompt sh similarly   curl -o    git-prompt sh       https   raw githubusercontent com git git master contrib completion git-prompt sh       and add the following line to your    bash profile   source    git-prompt sh   Then your PS1 variable that includes   git ps1   s  should work fine
