I modified the built in "Homebrew" theme for the Terminal to suit my taste (who ever thought a terminal should be dark on white has issues... tsk tsk).
I've added the following to my bash profile file (~/.profile):
alias ls='ls -AG'
alias ll='ls -AlG'
alias lld='ls -AlG | grep "^d"'
alias lll='ls -AlG | grep "^l"'
PS1="\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] "
I'm too lazy to type out "ls -l" and such
The PS1 will customize your prompt. There are tons of guides out on the internets that will walk you through further customization.
Also, to customize the ANSI colours, I use this:
