CAT Tool Settings?

So I noticed that when I use CAT that it doesn't display like Tommy's does in the video. The file's text doesn't display on it's own line and appears like this when I do it:

This is file1grimp_000 (master) my_really_cool_project $

How do I get the file's text to appear on it's own line?

Usually when you see output of your file combined with your default command line , which I think is "my_really_cool_project $", that means that in the "file1" there is no newline after the 'This is file1'. Try to open it with text editor you use, and add new line. Usually in any text editor newline is added by default. The good question is which editor did you use to create your file, and what commands did you use in it...
