Open Source PowerShell Git Software

posh-git is a PowerShell module which provides Git/PowerShell integration. The prompt within Git repositories can show the current branch and the state of files (additions, modifications, deletions) within. Provides tab completion for common commands when using git. Prompt formatting, among other things, can be customized. Displaying file status in the git prompt for a very large repo can be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off file status entirely, you can disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths. PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status.

GIT extra utilities, like repo summary, repl, changelog population, author commit percentages and more. Supports several sub-commands such as git-ignore, git-setup, git-summary, git-changelog, git-effort, etc. Some commands require extra dependencies which are unavailable in some platforms. You may need to install them manually. Note that only the Homebrew package is maintained by the git-extras developers directly. Other packages are maintained by the distribution's packagers or third-party volunteers. Installing from Homebrew will not give you the option omit certain git-extras if they conflict with existing git aliases. To have this option, build from source.

Node.js version management: no subshells, no profile setup, no convoluted API, just simple. n is not supported natively on Windows. There are a variety of ways of specifying the target Node.js version for n commands. Most commands use the latest matching version, and n ls-remote lists multiple matching versions. n downloads a prebuilt Node.js package and installs to a single prefix (e.g. /usr/local). This overwrites the previous version. The bin folder in this location should be in your PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin). The downloads are kept in a cache folder to be used for reinstalls. The downloads are also available for limited use using n which and n run and n exec. The global npm packages are not changed by the install, with the exception of npm itself which is part of the Node.js install.

Commitfusion is a PowerShell Module designed to streamline the process of generating Conventional Commits Messages in git. Commit messages are constructed using the Conventional Commits specification. The module allows the construction of a customized commit message with a number of parameters

git-secrets is a Git extension that helps prevent secrets—API keys, credentials, tokens, private keys—from being accidentally committed into version control. It works by applying configurable regular-expression patterns over commit contents (and merge history) and rejecting commits or merges that violate the policy. The tool includes hooks that integrate into git commit and git merge, as well as commands to list, add, or remove secret patterns, and to scan existing history for leaks. Teams often deploy it as part of their developer toolchain to enforce a security guardrail: you catch leaks early rather than discovering them later. It is also often used in CI pipelines or continuous code quality checks to detect in-flight vulnerabilities. While git-secrets is not a full secrets management system, it plays a key role in defense-in-depth by preventing accidental exposure in source.
