Install-Module GitDrive

Quick Start

cd C:\MyRepo
gcd                          # mount and navigate to current branch
dir                          # list branches + commits
cd feature\login             # enter child branch
Get-Content .\abc1234        # view commit diff
ii .\feature\login           # checkout branch

Features

• Branch navigation — cd/ls to browse branches without touching the working tree
• Commit history — each branch shows its unique commits with SHA, date, author, message
• Ahead count — see how many commits each branch is ahead of its parent
• Current branch marker — * marks the checked-out branch
• Refs column — shows branches, tags, and HEAD -> pointing to each commit
• Checkout — Invoke-Item (or ii) on a branch performs git checkout
• Branch operations — New-Item, Remove-Item, Rename-Item for branch management
• Diff viewer — Get-Content on a commit shows the full diff/patch
• Namespace folders — branches with / (e.g., feature/login) grouped naturally
• Pipeline analysis — filter, sort, and compare branches as PowerShell objects

Pipeline Examples

# Find merged branches
Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.IsBranch -and $_.Ahead -eq 0 }

# Find stale branches (older than 3 months)
Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.IsBranch -and $_.Date -lt (Get-Date).AddMonths(-3) }

# Branch health summary
$b = Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object IsBranch
[PSCustomObject]@{ Total = $b.Count; Merged = ($b | ? Ahead -eq 0).Count }

Requirements

• PowerShell 7.4+
• Windows (x64 or ARM64)
