Simple Bash Prompt (SBP) is a bash prompt, which strives to be simple. But it isn't. But it looks kind of nice. I think.

agkozak-zsh-prompt

Here's how I use git:
1. git status doesn't need to be run manually, https://github.com/woefe/git-prompt.zsh
2. I dislike aliases because they only work locally and not anywhere else which will be just confusing and especially when confusing when dealing with an emergency. So I'd rather not use any.
3. On the other hand, I override git reset to save my own bacon. Oh and I added git cd which I guess contradicts #2 but I use it rarely so it's fine. https://gist.github.com/chx/d4e30aaf8e3d9a6fccad9e89bb8d73b8
