How can I get the Linux terminal to look like Windows Git Bash?
Before anyone says it, yes, I know this is a duplicate, except when I copy/paste that code into tilde slash period bash(no period)rc, the terminal hasn't changed at all.
I'm running Debian on Virtual Box (Windows 10). I'm guessing I'm using the Mate desktop because I'm using Mate terminal.
When I go into a directory with git, I need to type in git status or git branch to see what branch I'm on, it doesn't display it like it's supposed to with the code.
EDIT: The code I pasted
force_color_prompt=yes
parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* (.*)/(1)/'
}
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]u@h[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[01;31m]$(parse_git_branch)[33[00m]$ '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$(parse_git_branch)$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt
EDIT 2:So it turns out my .bashrc file had
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]u@h[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[01;31m]$(parse_git_branch)[33[00m]$ '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$(parse_git_branch)$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt
printed somewhere else in it. I commented that out and now I get branch (whatever) when I'm in a git directory without needing to type git branch or git status. The problem I have now is the colors won't show up. This isn't a major issue, though it would be nice to have.

It is probably you are missing the PS1 prompt configuration for your user id.
You probably can use this which has those features and more.
Update
Here is my PS1 bash shell prompt with added escape sequences for the colors:
export PS1="[e]0;wa]n[e[32m]u@h [e[33m]w[e[0m][33[1;36m]$(parse_git_branch)[33[00m]n$ "
