Pimping Up Your PowerShell & Cmder with Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, & Powerline Fonts

Backstory (TLDR)

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.

For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.

Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.

What can you do as a maintainer?

The goal of this gist is to provide some details on what you can do and can't do on chocolatey.org when you are a maintainer.

• You can not remove yourself as a maintainer for packages available on chocolatey.org. You will need to contact the site admins to be removed from a package. You will not be removed as a maintainer if you are the only maintainer listed.
• When a new package have been pushed to chocolatey.org, a new version of the same package can not be pushed until the existing version is either approved or rejected. If the package is failing, the recommended solution is to update the existing version which fixes the failure reason. When this isn't possible, you can rejected a failing version yourself, or ask a Moderator to rejected it.
