current git branch is missing (helps me to avoid working on the wrong branch). (tried to do it with colors, but things got too messy). I never managed to work with colors in bash propmts; they look different on each environment.

  parse_git_branch() {
    git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
  }

  PS1="[\u@\h \W\$(parse_git_branch)]\$ "
