git reset HEAD@{1} results in error

[kenwarner]

I issued the command git reset HEAD@{1} and I got the following message

error: unknown switch `e'

The same command works fine from Git Bash

That's because curly braces have special meaning in PowerShell. You can either surround with single quotes or escape with backtick. For example:

git reset 'HEAD@{1}'

@JayBazuzi Thank you!

Will there be a resolution for this in posh-git or do we always have to omit those with single quotes?

[dougludlow]

@JawadS this is an issue with PowerShell, not posh-git.

[JawadS]

Hmm, Such a shame, I enjoyed using posh but a few issues like these forced me to switch back to git-bash

[dougludlow]

@JawadS - I think it makes sense to use whatever works best for you. I like poshgit and haven't found it limiting.
