🪟 Installation (PowerShell – Windows) - A small headache

✅ 1. Clone or download this repo

Save it somewhere safe, like:

C:\Users\yourname\git-shortcuts\git-shortcuts.ps1

✅ 2. Unblock the script

PowerShell blocks scripts downloaded from the internet. You must unblock it first:

Option A (GUI):

• Right-click on git-shortcuts.ps1 → Properties
• Check the box “Unblock” at the bottom
• Click Apply → OK

Option B (Command line):

Unblock-File "C:\Users\yourname\git-shortcuts\git-shortcuts.ps1"

✅ 3. Enable local script execution

Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Choose [Y] when prompted.

✅ 4. Load the shortcuts (temporary)

To load the shortcuts into your session:

. "C:\Users\yourname\git-shortcuts\git-shortcuts.ps1"

✅ 5. (Optional) Auto-load on every new PowerShell session

To make shortcuts always available:

notepad $PROFILE

Then add this line at the bottom of the file:

. "C:\Users\yourname\git-shortcuts\git-shortcuts.ps1"

Save and restart PowerShell.
