How to do git status from powershell?

Question

I tried this and it doesn't show any output. What is the right way to do this?

invoke-expression 'git status'

you only need to be on the git directory something like C:\path\to\git_repositories\git_repo_1>git status — Genaro Morales

Install-Module posh-git -Scope AllUsers
Import-Module posh-git
CD in Powershell to any cloned Git repo folder and the prompt itself gives you the full status

Otherwise, you can always fall back on the standard Git shell with a "git status" but issuing an invoke-expression etc. in PS for the non-PS CIM is certainly not the most efficient way to work with Git locally in PS.
