List of Files

• .bash_profile:

  This is your main profile. This is the default file that your terminal will source every time it runs. This file sources other files which contain completion scripts, color codes, extra functions, etc

• bash_colors.sh:

  This file has a list of convenience variables each representing a color code. It makes it easier for you to add colors to your prompts and scripts.

• git-prompt.sh:

  This is not the standard git-prompt from GitHub. This is a simplified custom script that lets you know the name of your current branch by appending it to your prompt. It will also color code the branch name to let you know the state of your branch.

• git-completion.sh:

  This script comes directly from GitHub and git-scm. It provides complex and extremely useful tab-completion for git on the command line.

• django-autocomplete.sh:

  This is the standard django completion script. It gives you tab-completion for manage.py on the command line.
