Have PsGet install Posh-Git as a Git repository

[haacked]

I used PsGet (http://psget.net/) to install Posh-Git on my machine. It was lovely and easy! But now I noticed that my version of Posh-Git is out of date. :(

Ideally, PsGet would be updated frequently. But perhaps even better, have the PsGet package include the posh-git repository so that it's easy to update. :)

This is not an issues of Posh-Git, this is an issue of PsGet, it references last tagged version(v0.3), seems it should reference just posh-git repository, this will always give latest version.

Great! :) I just blogged about how the latest Posh-Git supports SSH-Agent. http://haacked.com/archive/2011/12/19/get-git-for-windows.aspx It'll be nice to change the blog post to just tell folks to use PsGet again. :)

Yep, this is fixed now, "inmo posh-git -force" to get latest.

Awesome! Thanks! I updated my blog post. This makes Git way better on Windows.

Is inmo -force the update story for modules? I've been pondering how to let posh-git users know there are new bits available, which is easier when posh-git is a clone.

In short words, yep: inmo posh-git -force will download and install last version.

For now install-module only import-module if module already installed. Force will do installation regardless of version. This was done for scenario when you include install-module in other modules or scripts to get all dependencies. I do not think this is good idea any more :).

P.S. I also think about something like Update-Module that will force update by default. What do you think?

[dahlbyk]

How would Update-Module differ from Install-Module -Force?

[chaliy]

Only semantics. As for me this -Force flag does not something intuitive.
