# Load posh-git example profile
. 'C:posh-gitprofile.example.ps1'```
You can see what it did with doing <code class="codespan">notepad $profile</code>. It should even create a profile if you don&#8217;t already have one, but I did not test that for the Nuget Package Manager Console.

And after a restart of Visual studio it just works.

</div>

And even tab-completion now works for git.

The only thing to do now is to change the default colorscheme of posh-git to something that is better for a white background. But I hear from Keith Dalby that that should not be a problem and that he already has one. 

You can also change the prompt to your liking. 

And don&#8217;t forget you can also make the git experience a bit better when working with Visual studio by using my superfamous git shortcuts that I also have in my $profile file. I [blogged about that before][4], even [twice][5]. Here is my latest version.

```powershell
Function solutionworkingdirectory()
{
  split-path -parent $dte.Solution.FileName | cd
}

Function checkout($branch)
{
  solutionworkingdirectory
  write-host "Closing solution"
  $filename = $dte.Solution.FileName
  $dte.Solution.Close()
  write-host "Adding files"
  git add .
  write-host "Commiting files"
  git commit -a -m "auto commit before checkout"
  write-host "Checking out"
  git checkout $branch
  write-host "Reopening solution"
  $dte.Solution.Open($filename)
}

Function branch($branch)
{
  if($branch)
  {
    solutionworkingdirectory
    write-host "Creating branch"
    git branch $branch
  }
  else
  {
    solutionworkingdirectory
    write-host "Showing branches"
    git branch
  }
}
 
Function commit($message)
{
  solutionworkingdirectory
  write-host "Adding files"
  git add .
  write-host "Commiting files"
  git commit -a -m "$message"
}

Function push()
{
  solutionworkingdirectory
  write-host "Pushing master to origin"
  git push origin master
}```
So there it is. Git and powershell and Visual studio all in one little blogpost.

<span class="MT_red">Edit:</span> Changing the colors is actualy very easy. Just go to the posh-git folder and open GitPrompt.ps1 there you can easily change the colors. I use these for now.

```powershell
BeforeText                = ' ['
    BeforeForegroundColor     = [ConsoleColor]::Black
    BeforeBackgroundColor     = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor    
    DelimText                 = ' |'
    DelimForegroundColor      = [ConsoleColor]::Black
    DelimBackgroundColor      = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    
    AfterText                 = ']'
    AfterForegroundColor      = [ConsoleColor]::Black
    AfterBackgroundColor      = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    
    BranchForegroundColor       = [ConsoleColor]::Blue
    BranchBackgroundColor       = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    BranchAheadForegroundColor  = [ConsoleColor]::Green
    BranchAheadBackgroundColor  = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    BranchBehindForegroundColor  = [ConsoleColor]::Red
    BranchBehindBackgroundColor  = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    
    BeforeIndexText           = ""
    BeforeIndexForegroundColor= [ConsoleColor]::DarkGreen
    BeforeIndexBackgroundColor= $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    
    IndexForegroundColor      = [ConsoleColor]::DarkGreen
    IndexBackgroundColor      = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    
    WorkingForegroundColor    = [ConsoleColor]::DarkRed
    WorkingBackgroundColor    = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    
    UntrackedText             = ' !'
    UntrackedForegroundColor  = [ConsoleColor]::DarkRed
    UntrackedBackgroundColor  = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor
    ```
And this is what it looks like.
