In Fedora 29, added nice branch display to my bash prompt and new tabs no longer open in current folder:
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt ]
then
  GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS='yes'
  GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTAT='yes'
  GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE='yes'
  GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES='yes'
  GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM='auto
  PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 "\u@\h:\w" "\\\$ "'
fi
Result:
- Opening new tab no longer opens in current folder
 
Notes:
- Must use 
PROMPT_COMMANDinstead ofPS1because must have colors and nice things.... - Looks like 
/etc/profile.d/vte.shis being cancelled
