So, I am working on a local repository that was cloned from the company GitHub project page.
Some times, when I open the terminal in the GitHub directory, in-line in my command line, the active branch name is displayed in green, inside parentheses (e.g. tech@rdevice:~/projectxx (branch-name) $
Now, the weird thing is that this does not always show up (unknown what triggers it) and apparently when it is not showing, I get errors when I am trying to compile the code which I don't get when the branch name is shown.
Does anyone what's going on here? As this is actively affecting my work I need to figure it out.
I tried deleting the repository and cloning it again with no luck, my colleagues observed a similar behavior on other machines. Maybe it is also worth mentioning that the repository has linked sub-directories to other repositories. Not sure if this has anything to do with the issue described here.
Thanks!
