But I close this terminal and reopen, I cd to git folder. I don't see git branch current show ?.

I'm having a similar issue, where running the commands manually after prompt has loaded works, but from .profile doesn't (although i do see my echo, so file is definitely run)

manually running source ~/.profile also doesn't work

export GITAWAREPROMPT=~/.bash/git-aware-prompt
source "${GITAWAREPROMPT}/main.sh"
export PS1="\${debian_chroot:+(\$debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w \[$txtcyn\]\$git_branch\[$txtred\]\$git_dirty\[$txtrst\]\$ "
echo "test"

@walidvb, I think ~ might only work on the command line. You could try export GITAWAREPROMPT="$HOME/.bash/git-aware-prompt"

After you source ~/.profile what does echo "$PS1" show you?

And are the functions loaded in your shell? You can check with declare -f find_git_branch

Hi @joeytwiddle thanks for the quick reply.

Here is my output:

And the machine i'm running on:

If nothing changes after you manually export PS1 then my guess is that you are running a different shell, perhaps zsh, which uses PROMPT instead of PS1.

Note that this software expects you to set PS1 or PROMPT yourself. It doesn't do that automatically.

Also note that if you have a ~/.bash_profile file then bash will not load ~/.profile when it starts up.

It turns out that some code running(the default gcloud machines) was reverting the commands run:

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
        . "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

Placing the export after this solved the issue for me. Thanks!
