Beautiful-PoshGit

This has been archived since I can't seem to find much use for it anymore. The upstream is working great for me. Please fork if needed.

My cosmetic (UI mainly) improvements to Posh-Git.

Most of the important work was done by Scott Hanselman (@shanselman). I hope he doesn't get angry... :P

Installation

Sorry Unix people, not for you. :( You need to have Posh-Git installed. Thanks Keith Dahlby (@dahlbyk) See here for instructions if you don't already have that.

If you don't want Beautiful-PoshGit to autoload everytime into your PowerShell Profile (I really don't know why you would want that :P), run the script below:

cd $env:USERPROFILE/Documents/WindowsPowerShell/Modules
git clone https://github.com/hashhar/beautiful-poshgit.git Beautiful-PoshGit

You will have to reopen PowerShell and run Import-Module Beautiful-PoshGit everytime you open PowerShell now.

If you want it to be loaded automatically on every run, follow the steps below:

cd $env:USERPROFILE/Documents/WindowsPowerShell/Modules
git clone https://github.com/hashhar/beautiful-poshgit.git Beautiful-PoshGit
cd Beautiful-PoshGit
.\install.ps1

Installing Posh-Git

If you have PsGet (if not, you should check it out) installed just run:

Install-Module posh-git

Installing (manual)

Verify you have PowerShell 2.0 or better with $PSVersionTable.PSVersion. PowerShell 3.0 is preferred as 2.0 support is deprecated.
Verify execution of scripts is allowed with Get-ExecutionPolicy (should be RemoteSigned or Unrestricted). If scripts are not enabled, run PowerShell as Administrator and call Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Confirm.
Verify that git can be run from PowerShell. If the command is not found, you will need to add a git alias or add %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Git\cmd (or %ProgramFiles%\Git\cmd if you're still on 32-bit) to your PATH environment variable.
Clone the posh-git repository to your local machine.
From the posh-git repository directory, run .\install.ps1.
Enjoy!
