Custom Bash prompt is overwriting itself

Question

I\'m using custom bash prompt to show git branch.

Everything is in /etc/bash/bashrc:

function formattedGitBranch {
    _branch=\"$(git b         


        

Answer 1

Strings like \e[0;91m needs additional quoting, to prevent bash from calculating its length.

Enclose these strings from formattedGitBranch in \[ & \] as, \[\e[0;91m\]

You have done it correctly in other places. Just missed it in formattedGitBranch.
