Did not work with Ubuntu 18.04

Hi There,

While it is/was working with other Debian, it did not work with Ubuntu 18.04. Is there anything that I should take care of ?

If you have .bash_profile file, make sure that it sources .profile

Otherwise .profile won't get loaded! (Thanks bash)

Nope, I do not have .bash_profile file, but still it does not work.

I have the same problem. On the fresh ubuntu 18.04, it doesn't work unless I run the source "${GITAWAREPROMPT}/main.sh" manually. On my previous setup which was 16.04 upgraded to 18.04, it was working though.

Following https://github.com/magicmonty/bash-git-prompt/issues/520 solved this issue for me.

Does this line appear in your .bashrc?

Same issue on Ubuntu Terminal, any idea?
