PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a `prompt` function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in `profile.example.ps1` that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated `git status`:

C:\Users\Keith [master]>
C:\Users\Keith [master ≡]>

By default, the status summary has the following format:

[{HEAD-name} +A ~B -C !D | +E ~F -G !H !]
[{HEAD-name} S +A ~B -C !D | +E ~F -G !H W]

* `{HEAD-name}` is the current branch, or the SHA of a detached HEAD
* Cyan means the branch matches its remote
* Green means the branch is ahead of its remote (green light to push)
* Red means the branch is behind its remote
* Yellow means the branch is both ahead of and behind its remote
* S represents the branch status in relation to remote (tracked origin) branch
* ≡ = The local branch in at the same commit level as the remote branch
* ↑ = The local branch is ahead of the remote branch, a 'git push' is required to update the remote branch
* ↓ = The local branch is behind the remote branch, a 'git pull' is required to update the local branch
* ↕ = The local branch is both ahead and behind the remote branch, a rebase of the local branch is required before pushing local changes to the remote branch
* ABCD represent the index; EFGH represent the working directory
* `+` = Added files
* `~` = Modified files
* `-` = Removed files
* `!` = Conflicted files
* As in `git status`, index status is dark green and working directory status is dark red
* The trailing `!` means there are untracked files
* W represents the status of the working folder
* '!' = There are untracked changes in the working tree
* '~' = There are staged changes in the working tree waiting to be committed
* None = There are no uncommitted or unstaged changes to the working tree

For example, a status of `[master +0 ~2 -1 | +1 ~1 -0]` corresponds to the following `git status`:
For example, a status of `[master ≡ +0 ~2 -1 | +1 ~1 -0]` corresponds to the following `git status`:
