posh-git | A PowerShell environment for Git | Command Line Interface library

I have the Posh-Git module installed for Powershell and, recently, I also installed Anaconda and did conda init. Apparently, this modifies the profile.ps1 file by adding the following code:

I am trying to create an automation runbook to backup one of our Azure Devops repository and store it as a Zip file in the storage account. But when I run Git clone in a runbook(imported the posh-git module)I am getting the below error. Is there any way I can download the whole git repo as a Zip file using Automation Runbook?

I'm using oh-my-posh v3 in Windows Terminal.

If I'm in a non-git directory, my prompt looks like this...

but, in a git-enabled directory it looks like this...

I've exported the theme's definition to json and, as you can see, I can't find anything that seems to be responsible for the first block in the prompt.

I'm quite new to using git, so I'm not very knowledgeable, but have some questions, specifically about using git on Windows.

• Do I have to use git from https://git-scm.com/downloads or can I use other implementations of git?
• Alternatively, there is the posh-git PowerShell Module. Can the Cmdlets / Functions in here do everything that git do and so make downloading and installing git?
• For now, I'm installing via chocolatey cinst -y git installs also the cygwin. I have a problem with cygwin in that it's somewhat redundant these days, especially with things like WSL. Is it possible to just install the git commands without cygwin (I guess I just need the git.exe right?). I used to love cygwin and use it all the time, but in 2020, it does seem somewhat redundant, right?
• Alternatively, should I just install WSL and then go in there and sudo apt install git and then go back into Windows and just create a PowerShell function (using the wsl method to gain access to a command in the default WSL installation from Windows)? I think something like this should work: ...

I can't use 'module' related commands in Powershell. It's hanging with the blinking dash.

For example, I tried :

Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser

Or :

Find-Module -Name PowerShellGet

Both commands just give me a blinking dash...

So I don't know what to do. Is there a cache, or something ? Plus, as it's a part of Windows 10, I can't uninstall and reinstall it ?

Thanks.

Windows 10 Family Edition 2004 Powershell 5.1

I have this code in my $profile in PS version 5:

I want to import a few modules (posh-git, oh-my-posh, etc) only when PowerShell is launched from Windows Terminal. When PowerShell is launched using conhost or from Cmder, these imports should be excluded.

But I can see that $profile points to the same file when I open PowerShell from Windows Terminal or conhost or Cmder.

Is there a way I can identify the current terminal being used so I can do something like this in my $profile file?

How can I configure windows terminal to launch Powershell with a separate profile other than my standard $Profile

This would be helpful to have import modules like posh-git and psreadline only in the Powershell instance that I launch from wt.exe rather than from pwsh.exe

I've set up a brand new computer with PowerShell 7 and posh-git. When trying to run profile.ps1 on startup the Start-SshAgent command fails, resulting in cmdlet not recognized. Import-Module posh-git works fine, I see the command line prompt changes. In fact, everything else in profile.ps1 from my old computer is working fine.

I tried checking that my environment variables are set up. I'm able to run ssh-agent.exe from the PowerShell prompt, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
