Fixing npm permissions

1. Make a directory for global installations:

    mkdir ~/.npm-global
   
   

2. Configure npm to use the new directory path:

    npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
   
   

3. Open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

   export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH	    
   

4. Back on the command line, update your system variables:

    source ~/.profile
   
   

Add composer global to path

gedit ~/.bashrc

add this line :

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/lampp/bin:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"

Install git

Show git branch in terminal:

add this code to ~/.bashrc file :

# Show git branch name
parse_git_branch() {
 git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}
export PS1="\[\033[01;34m\]\[\e]0;\W\a\]\w\[\033[32m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\]$ "
