GIT_PROMPT_PATH="$HOME/github/perl-git-prompt/git-prompt.pl"
if [[ $GIT_PROMPT_PATH != *$PS1* ]]; then
export PS1="\$($GIT_PROMPT_PATH)"$PS1
fi
~~~

* You are on the **vader** branch.
* Your local repo is **+1** commit ahead of the remote
* There are **5** files in the staging area

This script assumes you have 256 color terminal support. It's 2013, you
should have a 256 color terminal. If you still have a 16 color terminal
no guarantees how this will look.
