docker-machine works in git bash but not in powershell

[oke-aditya]

OS used:- Windows 10 Pro
Hypervisor:- Hyper-V (Not virtual box)
Docker installation: - Docker for Windows (not Docker Desktop)

• I installed the docker-machine using the below commands as given on GitHub releases page and in the docker docs.

• I ran the below code in my git bash. ( As suggested in https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/)

$ if [[ ! -d "$HOME/bin" ]]; then mkdir -p "$HOME/bin"; fi && \ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.2/docker-machine-Windows-x86_64.exe > "$HOME/bin/docker-machine.exe" && \ chmod +x "$HOME/bin/docker-machine.exe"

• Now docker machine seems to be running fine in git bash

• But it fails to run on powershell. This is original powershell in windows 10
  

• Also fails on powershell v7
  

• Similar issues docker-machine doesn't work or error in Git Bash on windows #4464 Cannot run docker-machine in powershell #3152 and Shell detection fails for newer versions of powershell  #4789 They are open currently.

• Is this PR the solution ? Fix shell detection for Powershell core #4788 Open PR currently.

• This fixed for me.
  Pre-create check: "Hyper-V PowerShell Module is not available" #4424 (comment)

Now docker-machine runs in the powershell (both versions).
The problem might be because.

• I had no docker-machine.exe file created after the above process.
• I still wonder how git bash picked it up.

The best way in to use chocolatey.org, choco install docker-machine. It will insltall all you need.
