Couldn't open Git Shell in Windows 10! How to open Posh-Git?

Very new to Git Hub and Git Shell. I have installed GitHub using GitHubSetup.exe from https://desktop.github.com/. It created shortcuts for GitHub and Git Shell on my desktop and I am able to clone my repository to C:\ drive too. But when I open my repository using Git Shell, its not opening. Instead its showing some tasks like Run as Admin, Windows PowerShell (x86) etc. enter image description here

I tried to Run as Admin, but its opening PowerShell. enter image description here

How could I open Posh-Git?

Thank you!

Solution

  • Those tasks are associated to a Powershell icon. Not to GitHub Desktop.
    It has nothing to do with Git.

    You need to use the GitHub Desktop wheel at the top right corner, to open a git shell:

    git shell
