Create a ~/.bash_profile and enable colors using:

export PS1="\[\033[36m\]\u\[\033[m\]@\[\033[32m\]\h:\[\033[33;1m\]\w\[\033[m\]\$"
export CLICOLOR=1
# light theme, white background
export LSCOLORS=ExFxBxDxCxegedabagacad

alias ls='ls -GFh'

In the ~/ folder, create subfolder .bash and drop gitprompt.sh and gitstatus.py files there (bash.zip)

In the ~/.bash_profile file, add ``source ~/.bash/gitprompt.s'' so the file becomes:

export PS1="\[\033[36m\]\u\[\033[m\]@\[\033[32m\]\h:\[\033[33;1m\]\w\[\033[m\]\$"
export CLICOLOR=1
# light theme, white background
export LSCOLORS=ExFxBxDxCxegedabagacad

alias ls='ls -GFh'

#enable git bash prompt
source ~/.bash/gitprompt.sh

Restart terminal, and see the new look :
