How to use? Conflict with other modules? #59

My version

My issue

I tried using this interesting project. I think I have problems installing it.

I did: Install-Module PSGit I got error:

The following commands are already available on this system:'Write-Host'. This module 'Pansies' may override the existing commands

I did the dare-devil thing and tried: Install-Module PSGit -AllowClobber This time no error. However: Get-Module psgit returns nothing

When I open a new powershell prompt an run `import-module psgit' I get some changes. The prompt in a git working repo, now contains

indicating posh-git and psgit both working.

I found if posh-git and psgit both use the name Get-GitStatus. I guess that's natural.

Maybe I don't have a question anymore, but its worth noting the install problem, and the lack of documentation. But I would say PsGit looks interesting :)

After Install-Module PSGit -AllowClobber the module is installed, and as you discovered, if you Import-Module PSGit it imports

The Get-Module command only shows modules which are already imported, unless you use -ListAvailable (the opposite of the Get-Command command, which has a -ListImported switch)

And yes, I did use the same command name, because I was trying to be a drop-in for users who use posh-git just for their prompt ...

Thanks for the info. I guess its a good idea to use the same command name Get-GitStatus. Its output-content is not quite the same, though similar. You've added some lacking features like isHead and Tip. There following are not in ps-git, you are probably aware of this, but just in case its new in posh-git here it is:

StashCount Upstream HasWorking (changes not added to index) HasIndex (index changes) HasUntracked (has untracked files) Working (changes files) Index (changes files) UpstreamGone GitDir

I find the first five listed quite useful, and I would miss them as I print status to user in a nice overview of submodules.
