Bashrc

Prompt that will update the window title with the path:

$ cat .bashrc
# PS1='\[\033]0;$TITLEPREFIX:$PWD\007\]\n\[\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[35m\]$MSYSTEM \[\033[33m\]\w\[\033[36m\]`__git_ps1`\[\033[0m\]\n$ '
PS1='\[\033]0;GB:$PWD\007\]\w\[\033[36m\]`__git_ps1`\[\033[0m\]$ '

# PS1='\w\[\033[36m\]`__git_ps1`\[\033[0m\]\n$ '
# PS1='\[\033]0;$TITLEPREFIX:$PWD\007\]\w\[\033[36m\]`__git_ps1`\[\033[0m\]\n$ '

Default PS1 is:

PS1='\[\033]0;$TITLEPREFIX:$PWD\007\]\n\[\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[35m\]$MSYSTEM \[\033[33m\]\w\[\033[36m\]`__git_ps1`\[\033[0m\]\n$ '

Bash Profile

$ cat .bash_profile
# generated by Git for Windows
test -f ~/.profile && . ~/.profile
test -f ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc

If you create a .bashrc without there being a .bash_profile the above .bash_profile will be auto created^:

WARNING: Found ~/.bashrc but no ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile.

This looks like an incorrect setup.
A ~/.bash_profile that loads ~/.bashrc will be created for you.
