Is there a way to integrate Git into the Windows cmd or PowerShell?

Question

Is there a way to integrate Git into the Windows cmd or PowerShell? - so that it feels a bit like a Linux terminal. How?

OK, I got it myself ...

new-item -path alias:git -value 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe'

Download and install Git as shown in the link. In the sixth slide, 'Adjusting your PATH environment.', check for the option 'Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows command prompt' and that's it!

why everybody here wants to literally "integrate" git into powershell?

in powershell type git
now you are in bash 😊 (otherwise you don't have git as an env var)

but if you really want an integration, the easiest way is to "Download and install posh-git"
