Configuring Git client on Windows

Git is definitely must have tool for developer. In this article I will step by step show how to configure it on Windows. First start PowerShell with admin rights and change Execution Policy to something less restrictive:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Next step to install Chocolatey, amazing package manager for Windows:

    iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1')) 

Instead of installing raw Git client, we will use poshgit(Git for PowerShell), which provides nice to have futures:

    choco install poshgit 

To let git securely store credentials we will need one package:

    choco install git-credential-winstore

Right now, if you restart PowerShell most likely you will see warning "SSH Agent not found",in this case go to your PowerShell profile:  C:\Users\{UserName}\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 and add at the beginning of file: $env:path += ";${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Git\bin"

Now you set.
