+Bash it provides a solid framework for using, developing and maintaining shell scripts and custom commands for your daily work. If you're using the _Bourne Again Shell_ (Bash) on a regular basis and have been looking for an easy way on how to keep all of these nice little scripts and aliases under control, then Bash it is for you! Stop polluting your `~/bin` directory and your `.bashrc` file, fork/clone Bash it and start hacking away.

 ### Prompt Version Control Check
-Bash it provides prompt themes the ability to check and display version control information for the current directory. The information is retrieved for each directory and can slow down the navigation of projects with a large number of files and folders.

 **NOTE:**
-It is possible for themes to ignore the `SCM_CHECK` flag and query specific version control information directly. For example, themes that use functions like `git_prompt_vars` skip the `SCM_CHECK` flag to retrieve and display git prompt information. If you turned version control checking off and you still see version control information  within your prompt, then functions like `git_prompt_vars` are most likely the reason why.

 ### Git repository info in the prompt
 Bash it can show some information about Git repositories in the shell prompt: the current branch, tag or commit you are at, how many commits the local branch is ahead or behind from the remote branch, and if you have changes stashed.
