Basically I'm after this but for PowerShell instead of bash.
I use git on windows through PowerShell. If possible, I'd like my current branch name to displayed as part of the command prompt.
An easier way would be just installing the Powershell module posh-git. It comes out of the box with the desired prompt:
The Prompt
PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status:
C:\Users\Keith [master]>By default, the status summary has the following format:
[{HEAD-name} +A ~B -C !D | +E ~F -G !H]
(For installing posh-git I suggest using psget)
If you don't have psget use the following command:
(new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadString("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psget/psget/master/GetPsGet.ps1") | iex
To install posh-git use the command:
Install-Module posh-git
To ensure posh-git loads for every shell, use the Add-PoshGitToProfile command.
