True, and I'm not sure why I added in the additional API call, but still I'm having to do the following:

Get album id to then call photos.

I would like to have one query that calls all photos in all albums and just return the latest, say 14.

Ok, I found it - here you go:

# Use colors from system to show clean or dirty directory
c_cyan=`tput setaf 6`
c_red=`tput setaf 1`
c_green=`tput setaf 2`
c_sgr0=`tput sgr0`
 
# get the git branch
parse_git_branch ()
{
  if git rev-parse --git-dir >/dev/null 2>&1
  then
          gitver=$(git branch 2>/dev/null| sed -n '/^\*/s/^\* //p')
  else
          return 0
  fi
  echo -e $gitver
}

# set the color of the branch
branch_color ()
{
        if git rev-parse --git-dir >/dev/null 2>&1
        then
                color=""
                if git diff --quiet 2>/dev/null >&2 
                then
                        color="${c_green}"
                else
                        color=${c_red}
                fi
        else
                return 0
        fi
        echo -ne $color
}

# export PS1 variable for the bash
PS1='[\[$(branch_color)\]$(parse_git_branch)\[${c_sgr0}\]] \u \[${c_red}\]\W\[${c_sgr0}\]: '

Place this in your .bashrc file.

Uhm, I think you misunderstood my question. Not sure how else to explain it, but basically I like how on my local machine it shows the count info from git status as well as what branch you are on, including your pwd.

Where as on my linux box it just shows pwd. Does that make more sense?

I'm not suggesting that the users copy and paste the code. But for some it would be great to see the end functionality without having to recreate the project. For example, if the title says, "Learn how to create a sweet transition with CSS3." I would want to actually see the transition working before I take the time to read the tutorial, as I may not think the transition is sweet. We can always suggest using JSFiddle or Codepen.

Ok. That would require server side code, best with a REST API of some sort and then the use of AJAX would allow you to do changes on a form without actually leaving the page.
