Posh-git: PoshGit doesn't show branch info in PowerShell 7.0.3

[Alfetta159]

System Details

• posh-git version/path: 0.7.3.1
• PowerShell version: 7.0.3
• Git version: 2.27.0
• Operating system name and version: Window 10.

Issue Description

PoshGit doesn't show branch info (e.g. [master]) . Reinstalled from Chocolatey on PS 7.0.3

[cwhowell]

posh-git v0.7.x doesn't support Powershell Core, and the Chocolately package hasn't yet been updated to distribute v1.x. There's a comment on the Chocolatey package page from the author saying he hasn't had time to update it yet (which is fair enough, this is a free tool).

As a workaround I've just used successfully on Powershell Core 7.0.3: Remove the Chocolatey package, and then install posh-git from the Powershell Gallery as described in the README. Then run Add-PoshGitToProfile to automatically include posh-git in every subsequent PS session.

Thank you, @cwhowell (and of course @dahlbyk )

I've been using PoshGit since I started using Git and would hate to see it go away.

I'm going to close this because while the Chocolatey install might not be updated, I did get what I wanted out of this. It's nice to be able to use PS 7.x partly because it's the latest version but mostly because it has a black background by default! 😉

Definitely not going away, it's just been tough to balance OSS against work and family. We'll get there. 🔜
