       | About two years ago, a change in work caused me to become a heavy

       | setup was to change my prompt to multi line, detect whether I was
       | in a git repo, include the branch in the prompt, and also include
       | a summary of git status.
       | 
       | Very handy! (The check also makes sure I am in the repo part of
       | the repo, and not, say, in its .git folder or other non-working
       | folders.)
