Posh-git: Posh-git not display well in my powershell

[pharazone]

System Details

• posh-git version/path: 0.7
• PowerShell version: 5.1.19631.1
• Git version: 2.18.0.windows.1
• Operating system name and version: windows 10 2004

Issue Description

As the picture, there is a long blank before ">" and the script, how could I solve this? Thank you!

I am having a similar problem as @pharazone. Only Posh-Git isn't indicating anything, for me, as far as being in a git repo. However, I am in a git repo as doing a git status shows:

System Details

• (I don't know how to get the version of posh-git)
• PowerShell version: 5.1.18362.752
• Git version: 2.27.0.windows.1
• Operating system and version: Windows 10 Pro 1909

To get the version of posh-git, run Get-Module. Also, have you imported posh-git?

[rfalanga]

Thank you for supplying me with the Get-Module command. I've issued both Get-Module posh-git and Get-Module poshgit (since I'm not sure which I should be using). It produces nothing.

I'm guessing I've failed to import posh-git. I'm sorry, I'm enough of a novice to now know how I should import it.

[rkeithhill]

@rfalanga No worries. Once you've imported it, you can run the Add-PoshGitToProfile -AllHosts so that the next time you start PowerShell, posh-git will auomatically get imported.

[rfalanga]

@rkeithhill thank you very much for your help!

I believe I've imported it. I've just ran Add-PoshGitToProfile -AllHosts, but got this warning:

WARNING: Skipping add of posh-git import to file 'C:\Users\rodf\OneDrive\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1'.
WARNING: posh-git appears to already be imported in one of your profile scripts.
WARNING: If you want to force the add, use the -Force parameter.

What should I do about this?

[rfalanga]

Thank you again, @rkeithhill, that took care of it.

[rkeithhill]

What should I do about this?

Those warnings were just telling you that your profile already imports posh-git. So you're set.

@pharazone What environment are you running in? Is that the PS Console, PS in Windows Terminal, PS in VSCode Terminal, PS in VSCode PS Integrated Console or something else?
