posh-gitflow

Adds PowerShell extensions to posh-git to enable GitFlow source code management. Posh-git is a PowerShell environment for git that can be installed by itself, or bundled with GitHub for Windows as the 'Git Shell.'

Description

This script adds GitFlow support to posh-git. The GitFlow concept and core scripts were developed by nvie. The cheatsheet and script offered here is a modified version of one developed by Howard van Rooijen and documented in a fantastic series of blog posts about using GitHub with TeamCity.

Installation

Open a posh-git shell. (If using the GitHub for Windows client browse to a repository and 'Open in Git Shell'. Be sure to change to an appropriate directory so you don't clone into an existing repository.)
Run git clone https://github.com/jhoerr/posh-gitflow.git;cd posh-gitflow;./Configure-GitFlow.ps1;cd ..
Run git flow init to initialize the repository for GitFlow.
Review the One-Page GitFlow Cheatsheet to learn the commands.
