Git branch

This bashrc shows on which repo I am working (and at which branch).

To use this extension, run the following:

curl -L https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh > ~/.git-prompt.sh

Then, alter your .bashrc:

vim ~/.bashrc

Allow for color prompt in bash. Search for the following lines and alter it accordingly:

# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
force_color_prompt=yes

if [ -n "$force_color_prompt" ]; then
    if [ -x /usr/bin/tput ] && tput setaf 1 >&/dev/null; then
	# We have color support; assume it's compliant with Ecma-48
	# (ISO/IEC-6429). (Lack of such support is extremely rare, and such
	# a case would tend to support setf rather than setaf.)
	color_prompt=yes
    else
	color_prompt=
    fi
fi

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
   PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\[\033[01;31m\]$(__git_ps1 "\n@%s")\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
   PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt

# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
case "$TERM" in
xterm*|rxvt*)
    PS1="\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \w\a\]$PS1"
    ;;
*)
    ;;
esac

In your ~/.bashrc add the following line after the previous lines:

# Overwrites PS1
source PATH_TO_THIS_GIT_REPO/bashrc_ext

cdp

cdp enables you to create a config file with directory shorthands, to for example project directories. By typing cdp (or by using tab completion) you can quickly change to the configured directory.

In order to use the cd shorthand function, create a config file:

~/.cdp.config

This is an example cdp.config file:

# Config file for cdp shorthand, see https://github.com/mathijsdelangen/extended_bashrc
# Shorthands are only reloaded when bash is reloaded!

# Do not use ~, use $HOME instead
project_paths["home"]="$HOME"
project_paths["project1"]="/data/projects/project1/work"
project_paths["project1-n"]="$HOME/projects/company3/project1/Rxx"
project_paths["paard-docs"]="/data/projects/paard/docs/work"
