    Magnificent app which corrects your previous console command.

    TheFuck is great for those commands where you can't necessarily remember what you need.

    Display current Git branch name in your terminal prompt when in a Git working directory.

    Also, if you use git and you've ever seen/miss git bash, this ends up showing your branch in the prompt and other useful things, I ended up setting it up both on my remote boxes and in wsl and in Mac https://github.com/jimeh/git-aware-prompt
