I was messing around with the color codes trying to understand how color code is used in bash script and I found that it works fine without including [] around it as in here:
This..
red="33[38;5;203m"
export PS1="$redu$green$(__git_ps1)$blue W"
..gives the same result as that:
red="[33[38;5;203m]"
export PS1="$redu$green$(__git_ps1)$blue W"
So is the second form necessary?
