There is nothing wrong with your system or you change something involuntarily. You must have download oh-my-zsh and set your default terminal from bash to zsh. Oh-my-zsh has many different themes, all these themes have different appearances and provide more efficient functions, git information is one of them. The default theme of oh-my-zsh is "robbyrussell" and it just looks like your shell prompt. You can go to "~/.oh-my-zsh/themes" to choose your favorite theme and apply it to the configuration file "./zshrc". I know you have solved the problem by uninstalled the zsh and use the original bash, I just want to tell you the essential reason of this problem. And oh-my-zsh truly provides some convenience which helps you use the command line, maybe you should try it again!
