Oh-My-Zsh creates a .zshrc that can override default configuration values, then calls the main script rather than including the entire prompt in the .zshrc. We should use a similar approach so we can do things like auto-update checks, config overrides, and better project organization.

I believe the way to do this is to create an actual PowerShell module that gets called by the Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 script when the shell is opened. This would also let us use PsGet for distribution and updates.

Whereas hg and git root names are kept at full length. It's a quick fix, just wanted to make the issue.

Suggestion: change the installation directory so something unique. The installation commands listed in the README didn't work for me because I have already made some customizations to my powershell profile.

fatal: destination path 'WindowsPowerShell' already exists and is not an empty directory.
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

We're treating this as similar to Oh-My-Zsh, but don't have a good name for it. If we want a cleaner update mechanism or better config overrides, we should really come up with a better name now, rather than try to rename things during install later.

The window that pops up when attempting to tab complete looks absolutely hideous. Is there a way to config this?

Make a new temporary drive similarly to this:

New-PSDrive -Name VM -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\win81-wwighamvm\c$"

Cd into it:

When in the root of the drive, the prompt is both empty and gray. (And when you cd into it, it becomes a UNC path, rather than a drive path) This probably isn't wholly intentional.

The custom posh-git ones, ofc, do. Just wanted to note this for somewhere so I could fix it later.

Repro:

1. Navigate to folder (where the folder is not ~)
2. Delete folder from another process
3. Press enter button (invoke prompt again)

Actual:

1. Prompt displays as "~"

Expected:
2. Prompt displays something more accurate

Could use something like Boxstarter or Chocolatey to handle the module versioning, this also prevents unexpected breakage when pulling in a version newer than what was last tested. Also would allow a "spec" file that shows what versions have been tested with Pester/Psake within the repo.

Looks like it's more stringent about some things, like when you Mock.
