## What it is
A curated PowerShell 7 profile for Windows Terminal that adds colors, keybinds, Git shortcuts, file/system helpers, and oh-my-posh theming. The installer sets up dependencies like Oh My Posh, zoxide, Terminal-Icons, and a Nerd Font.

## Use cases
- make PowerShell look and work like a Linux terminal
- set up a pretty Windows Terminal prompt
- add git shortcuts to PowerShell
- install oh-my-posh and zoxide on Windows
- get Linux-style commands like touch and which in PowerShell
- customize a PowerShell profile with overrides

## When to choose
- You use PowerShell 7 on Windows and want a polished, productive shell out of the box
- You want Git aliases and Unix-like file helpers in PowerShell
- You want an easy installer that backs up your existing profile

## When to avoid
- You don't use Windows or PowerShell
- You want a fully custom profile you maintain yourself
- You need a cross-platform shell configuration for bash/zsh
