Why is the name of the branch I'm currently working not showing up in the terminal

Hi,

you could find name of the current branch in the right bottom corner of the screen. Would it help you?

The branch name doesn't appear in my bottom-right-corner. Any idea why not? 

Thanks!

Hi in order to see branch name in your terminal you need to edit the bash profile.

Please follow below steps for the same:

1. write the command : vim ~/.bash_profile in your terminal

2. In insert mode write(copy) the below script:

c_red=`tput setaf 1`
c_green=`tput setaf 2`
c_sgr0=`tput sgr0`branch_color ()
{
    if git rev-parse --git-dir >/dev/null 2>&1
    then
        color=""
        if git diff --quiet 2>/dev/null >&2
        then
            color=${c_green}
        else
            color=${c_red}
        fi
    else
        return 0
    fi
    echo -n $color
}parse_git_branch ()
{
    if git rev-parse --git-dir >/dev/null 2>&1
    then
        gitver="("$(git branch 2>/dev/null| sed -n '/^\*/s/^\* //p')")"
    else
        return 0
    fi
echo -e $gitver
}export PS1='\[\033[31m\]\u \[\033[34m\]\w \[${c_sgr0}\]\[\[$(branch_color)\]$(parse_git_branch)\[${c_sgr0}\]$ '

3. Exit the insert mode by pressing escape key and write :wq + enter key.
4. Restart your terminal.

You'll now be able to see your branch name in terminal.
