After watching Ondrej's git videos, I became jealous of the (branch name) at
the end of his bash prompt. I googled around and was able to put something
together that I like. The trick was getting it to work in color.
Especially tricky for me was getting back to the default white after the
branch name. I found that I could get either light gray or bold white,
neither of which I liked. But a code that doesn't really make sense to bash
seems to get me back to the default.
I added these to my .bashrc:
function parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}
PS1="\...@\h:\w\[\e[0;33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\e[0;39m\]$ "
where \[\e[0;33m\] switches to a medium yellow and \[\e[0;39m\] switches
back to the default white (for me).
I borrowed ideas from these places:

how to tweak the other things in the prompt:

and how to put things in color:

Ondrej may have a cleaner solution, but I like it a lot.
