What’s so arcane about `echo "$(tput setaf 6)cyan$(tput sgr0)"`?

Uh we must be using different prompts. I'm talking about this: export PS1="\u@\h \[\033[32m\]\w\[\033[33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "

export PS1="\u@\h \[$(tput setaf 7)\]\w\[$(tput setaf 8)\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[$(tput sgr0)\] $ "
