This repo has a collection of dotfiles 
for setting up bash and git

The color scheme assumes a dark background 
on your terminal.

    * tracked/untracked files
    * branch name
    * commit status
 - Put the return status of the last command in 
   your prompt
 - Organize your bash history into the .bash_histories/ dir
