function Use-Git { <# .SYNOPSIS Use Git .DESCRIPTION Calls the git application, with whatever arguments are provided. Arguments can be provided with -GitArgument, which will automatically be bound to all parameters provided without a name. Input can also be piped in. If the input is a directory, Use-Git will Push-Location that directory. Otherwise, it will be passed as a positional argument (after any other arguments). Use-Git will combine errors and output, .NOTES For almost everything git does, calling Use-Git is the same as calling git directly. If you have any difficulties passing parameters to git, try enclosing them in quotes. .LINK Out-Git .Example # Log entries are returned as objects, with properties and methods. git log -n 1 | Get-Member .Example # Status entries are converted into objects. git status .Example # Display untracked files. git status | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Untracked .Example # Display the list of branches, as objects. git branch #> [Alias('git')] [CmdletBinding(PositionalBinding=$false)] param( # Any arguments passed to git.
