In the Treehouse videos under Console Foundations, how did Treehouse customize there welcome text header to show 'Welcome to the Treehouse Command Line....' instead of the default 'Welcome to Git (version....)'?

6,545 PointsThanks for your response, but I have seen that one already in my Google searches and that's not what I am looking for. I am not referring to aliases or prompts, simply the first several lines of text that come up when Get Bash is opened. Mine says:
Welcome to Git (version 1.9.4-preview20140611)
Run 'git help git' to display the help index. Run 'git help <command>' to display help for specific commands.
I would like mine to say something else, similar to the Treehouse example including my name, email and home directory.
