PS-Git

Git PowerShell setup

1. First install git: http://git-scm.com/download/win
2. Then, you may follow instructions from: https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git or just execute:
   Install-Module posh-git
   Note: this is an untrusted module per some corporate setups. Therefore, you may need to install per: http://psget.net/ Execute from within PowerShell:
   (new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://psget.net/GetPsGet.ps1") | iex
   Note: you must modify the default install script if you use the last method above. If you get an error stating that you must upgrade to PowerShell 3 or greater, this guide and installation may be helpful for Windows 7 and 8 users: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/getting-powershell-5-running-windows-7-server-2008-r2-darwin-sanoy.
3. Customize the Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 in this directory to your liking. Typically, it is installed in the ~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell or, in my case, ~\source\PS-Git directories.
4. You can see if you have an existing $PROFILE by executing: Get-Item $PROFILE You can then add the customized Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 to that file or replace it. You may need to do: New-Item -Path $PROFILE -ItemType "file" -Force if one does not already exist
5. In corporate environments you may not have the proper execution policy to run scripts. You can determine this by running Get-ExecutionPolicy and then setting the policy via Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned. See: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176961.aspx
6. The default PS-Readline script is used for colorization and better command line history along with bash style command completion. You must execute:
   Install-Module PSReadline
   from an elevated shell to install it. The Set-PSReadlineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function Complete sets up bash style completion. Change it to your liking or read the instructions at https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine for more customization options.
7. There is also command completion for npm in the profile. You must execute, from an elevated shell:
   Find-Module TabExpansionPlusPlus -repository PsGallery | Install-Module -Scope AllUsers
Find-Module NPMTabCompletion -repository PsGallery | Install-Module -Scope AllUsers
   to enable.
