This repo has a collection of dotfiles 
for setting up bash and git

The color scheme assumes a dark background 
on your terminal. 

Features

   like big prompts you probably don't want
   this
 - Git status in your prompt
    * tracked/untracked files
    * branch name
    * commit status
 - Put the return status of the last command in 
   your prompt
 - Organize your bash history into the .bash_histories/ dir 


Steps to install:

$ git clone git@github.com:MITx/dotfiles

to .<file>.bak
