PowerShell-Git-Aliases

PowerShell implementation of zsh-style Git aliases for Windows users. Complete collection of Git shortcuts that streamline common Git operations in PowerShell.

Overview

This repository contains a PowerShell script (Install-GitAliases.ps1) that configures your PowerShell profile with Git aliases similar to those available in zsh/oh-my-zsh. If you're familiar with Git aliases in zsh and want the same functionality in PowerShell, this script sets up everything for you with a single command.

Features

• 150+ Git aliases ported from zsh
• Helper functions for branch detection
• Proper PowerShell syntax and parameter handling
• Easy installation process
• Familiar commands for users switching between zsh and PowerShell

Prerequisites

• Windows with PowerShell 5.1+ or PowerShell Core 6.0+
• Git for Windows installed and available in PATH

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Open PowerShell
3. Navigate to the repository folder
4. Run the script:

.\Install-GitAliases.ps1

The script will:

• Check if your PowerShell profile exists and create it if needed
• Add the Git aliases and helper functions to your profile
• Offer to load the aliases in the current session
• Show example commands to get you started
