When I navigate to the directory of my git repo, my command line shows me a lot of stuff. It looks like the output of git-show-branch. I've tried to edit my git config file to change the default for [show-branch] to no avail. I'm up to about 40 commits being listed in my prompt and it's getting to be a real nuisance. Anybody know how to get my prompt back to the default?
OS is RHEL.
Here's what my prompt looks like (## replacing sensitive info):
on ! [backup-master] This is the fixes I need!
! [checkout] Added ## and ##. This commit may be garbage
* [master] Merge branch 'master' of /home/path/path
! [oldRval] Added top level cells ## and ##
----

echo $PS1?$PS1being undefined caught me by surprise, for one, it holds the prompt format string for many common shells, so that suggests either something is very broken with your setup or you're using a shell I'm unfamiliar with. Second,$PS1being explicitly called undefined is odd, most shells just expand undefined variables to an empty string.
