A PowerShell module that wraps Git functionality so that it plays nicely within the PowerShell ISE.
- Aliases Git in the PowerShell ISE with a new Invoke-PhatGit cmdlet.
- Captures and redirects interactive git.exe commands' standard and error output streams.
- Ensures any interactive Git commands do not hang the PowerShell ISE console.
- Works with posh-git.
Requires Powershell 3.0.

Native PowerShell ISE output:
PhatGit PowerShell ISE output:
PhatGit interactive process timeout warning:
- Automatic (with Chocolatey):
- Run 'choco install phatgit'.
- Launch the PowerShell ISE.
- Run 'Import-Module PhatGit'.
- Automatic (via OneGet on Windows 10 - until I can publish this to the PSGallery feed):
- Run 'Install-Package phatgit -Source chocolatey'.
- Launch the PowerShell ISE.
- Run 'Import-Module PhatGit'.
- Manual:
- Download the latest release.
- Ensure the .zip file is unblocked (properties of the file / General) and extract to your Powershell module directory "$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules".
- Launch the PowerShell ISE.
- Run 'Import-Module PhatGit'.
- If you want it to be loaded automatically when ISE starts, add the line above to your ISE profile (see $profile).
Once loaded, it'll do it's "thing" with all git invocations.
Because I got fed up with the output provided by git.exe in the PowerShell ISE! By default, git.exe outputs some of its text via the error stream. In the PowerShell console this doesn't cause a problem, however in the PowerShell ISE the "error" is caught and displayed along with the default PowerShell error output.
Interactive Git commands would also hang the PowerShell ISE console. PhatGit will terminate these processes with an error message after a short timeout (3 seconds). Therefore, no more hung console when I forget to type a commit message :)
