How to install posh-git
Install GitHub Desktop:
Previously, the posh-git module was provided by NuGet. In more recent packages, the GitHub Desktop setup includes posh-git, and will install a "Git Shell" which is a PowerShell console with the posh-git module, and some dependencies, loaded.
When installed with GitHub Desktop, the posh-git module does not get installed to the typical PS Module locations. Instead, it's placed in the user's Local AppData path, with the GitHub Desktop. For example:
$env:userprofile\AppData\Local\GitHub\PoshGit_869d4c5159797755bc04749db47b166136e59132\posh-git.psm1
** To check the location of your own posh-git module, you can run the following statement from within Git Shell:
(Get-Module -Name posh-git).Path
