For those of you that use git, this little snippet can be added to

~/.gitconfig

to add a little color to your git messages:

[color]
  branch = auto
  diff = auto
  status = auto

[color "branch"]
  current = yellow reverse
  local = yellow
  remote = green

[color "diff"]
  meta = yellow bold
  frag = magenta bold
  old = red bold
  new = green bold

[color "status"]
  added = yellow
  changed = green
  untracked = cyan
