Bash PS1 variable

[Nirajr Patel]

I am a newbie and my bash ps1 variable is messing up the way my shell handles new lines. I think it is not formatted correctly. Any ideas?? Thanks for the help!

export PS1="\e[37m\u@\h: \e[0;33m\W\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\]\e[37m$ "

I have no idea what that does. But consider debugging my removing tiny pieces of it one at a time until the problem goes away. That will identify the problem code. Then you can eitehr read up on that particular part of the string or ask here.

export PS1="\e[37m\u@\h: \e[0;33m\W\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\]\e[37m$ "
