$GitPromptSettings.DefaultPromptAbbreviateHomeDirectory
defaults to$false
on Windows. When enabled,~
is always substituted for the user's home path. Before this change, when directly in your home dir, this setting would result in the full path displayed in the prompt e.g.C:\Users\Keith
. After this change,~
will be displayed. The new behavior is consistent with how the home path is displayed in prompts in other shells on Linux. (#746) (PR #801)- Adds
--no-optional-locks
when invoking git to reduce conflicts with other tools. (PR #774) Thanks @jessehouwing

(#632) (PR #633) - Abbreviate path from git root with new setting
DefaultPromptAbbreviateGitDirectory
(#719) (PR #720) (PR #729) Thanks Philippe Elsass (@elsassph) - Two new properties have been added to
$global:GitTabSettings
EnableLogging
- default is$false
but when set to$true
, tab expansion functions log to a file.LogPath
- the path to the log file that is appended to (created if necessary) whenEnableLogging
is$true
.
- Module parameter changed from a [switch] that forced the posh-git prompt to be used to a bools. The use of this
parameters during import is now simplified to:
Import-Module posh-git -Args 1
. - Shortened up the Windows title text to work better with Windows Terminal tabs. Now only displays '32-bit' in 32-bit PowerShell, otherwise assumption is you're running 64-bit. Also display only PowerShell major.minor version number. (PR #707)
- Switched from overriding
TabExpansion
function to usingRegister-ArgumentCompleter

before importingposh-git
. (#609) (PR #711) Thanks Andrew Bradley (@cspotcode) - Update Ubuntu build system from 14.04 to 16.04 (PR #677) Thanks @ExE-Boss
$GitPromptSettings.BeforeIndex
is always displayed even if there is nothing in the index. The intent of this separator setting is to provide a separator between the branch name / branch status and the following section of index/working/summary/stash indicators. (PR #723)- posh-git no longers sets missing
HOME
environment variable. (#718) (PR #722) Get-GitStatus -Force

The 1.0.0 release is targeted specifically at Windows PowerShell 5.x and (cross-platform) PowerShell Core 6.x, both of
which support classes, enabling the enhanced structure of $GitPromptSettings
,
and writing prompt strings using ANSI escape sequences /
Console Virtual Terminal Sequences (supported since Windows 10 version 1511).
Consequently, this release introduces BREAKING changes with 0.x. If you are still on Windows PowerShell 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0, please continue to use the 0.x version of posh-git.

- Renamed
$GitPromptSettings.EnableWindowTitle
to$GitPromptSettings.WindowTitle
with significant improvements:$Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle
is now set on everyprompt
, not just when inside a Git repo.- To prevent setting
WindowTitle
, set$GitPromptSettigs.WindowTitle
to$null
. - The
WindowTitle
update has been moved from theWrite-GitStatus
command to the built-inprompt
function. $GitPromptSettings.WindowTitle
is now fully customizable:- As a
string
, it will be processed withExpandString
. - As a
ScriptBlock
(default), it will be executed with two parameters:$GitStatus
and$IsAdmin
.
- As a
- When a color setting is specified by a
string
(color name), it is parsed as an HTML color (on platforms that supportSystem.Drawing.ColorTranslator
) before being parsed as aConsoleColor
. To force usingConsoleColors
, use static member syntax (e.g.[ConsoleColor]::Cyan
). (PR #536) PoshGitVcsPrompt

Get-Content -Encoding Byte
when processing profile scripts during Chocolatey install/uninstall. That encoding doesn't exist in PowerShell Core. Switched toGet-Content -AsByteStream
on PowerShell Core. (PR #532) - Fixed ANSI rendering bug: when both
ForegroundColor
andBackgroundColor
colors are$null
(default), we were emitting an unnecessary terminating escape sequence"$([char]27)[0m"
. (PR #532) - Fixed issue where setting
ForegroundColor
orBackgroundColor

hashtable to a stongly typed object. Here is one example of the impact of this change:$GitPromptSettings.LocalWorkingStatusSymbol = '#' $GitPromptSettings.LocalWorkingStatusForegroundColor = [ConsoleColor]::DarkRed
Changes to:
$GitPromptSettings.LocalWorkingStatusSymbol.Text = '#' $GitPromptSettings.LocalWorkingStatusSymbol.ForegroundColor = [ConsoleColor]::DarkRed
-
Changed
Write-VcsStatus
,Write-GitStatus
andWrite-Prompt
to return a string rather than write to host when the host supports ANSI escape sequences.
- Implement support for ANSI escape sequences for colored output - support System.ConsoleColor, System.Drawing.HtmlColor
(if available on the platform) and 24-bit color. NOTE: this is a breaking change since
Write-VcsStatus
,Write-GitStatus
andWrite-Prompt
will now return a string rather than write to the host when the host supports ANSI escape sequences. (#304) (#447) (#455) - $GitPromptSettings is now a strongly typed object using PS classes (#344) (PR #513)
- Provide more granular commands than just
Write-GitStatus

uses internally which are:- Write-GitBranchName

which contains the code for the default prompt. (#501) (PR #513)If you need to execute your own logic in your own prompt function but still want to display the default posh-git prompt, you can execute this scriptblock from your prompt function e.g.:
# profile.ps1 function prompt { Set-NodeVersion &$GitPromptScriptBlock } Import-Module posh-git

This release has focused on improving the "getting started" experience by adding an Add-PoshGitToProfile
command that
modifies the user's PowerShell profile script to import the posh-git module whenever PowerShell starts.
When posh-git is imported, it will automatically install a posh-git prompt that displays Git status summary information.
Work was also done to improve performance of Get-GitStatus
when inside large Git repositories.
Work was begun to eliminate some obvious crashes on PowerShell on .NET Core but more work remains to be done.
