## What it is
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

## Facets
