posh-git is a PowerShell module that integrates Git into the PowerShell prompt, showing branch and file status summary information. It also provides rich tab completion for git commands, remotes, branch names, and paths.

Use cases

• show git branch and status in my PowerShell prompt
• tab complete git commands and branch names in PowerShell
• customize my PowerShell prompt for git repositories
• see added modified deleted file counts at a glance in the shell
• set up a git-aware PowerShell profile

When to choose

• you use PowerShell on Windows or PowerShell Core cross-platform and work with Git daily
• you want git status and tab completion built into your shell prompt
• you want a customizable prompt via $GitPromptSettings

When to avoid

• you use bash, zsh, or fish rather than PowerShell
• you need SSH agent management, which moved to the posh-sshell module
• your repositories are very large and prompt file status would be too slow
