+TOPIC
+    Posh-Git
+
+SHORT DESCRIPTION
+    A set of PowerShell scripts which provide Git/PowerShell integration.
+
+LONG DESCRIPTION
+    posh-git enables better Git/PowerShell integration via two primary
+    features: a Git prompt that displays Git repository status information as
+    part of your PowerShell prompt and tab completion for git.exe commands
+    and branch names.
+
+GIT TAB COMPLETION
+    You can tab complete most common Git commands e.g.:
+
+    C:\GitHub\posh-git> git ch<tab> --> git checkout
+
+    You can also tab complete branch names.  Assume you are current on the
+    develop branch and want to checkout master e.g.:
+
+    C:\GitHub\posh-git> git checkout ma<tab> --> git checkout master
+
+GIT STATUS PROMPT
+    PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one
+    exists. posh-git defines such a function in the included
+    profile.example.ps1 script file that outputs the current working directory
+    followed by an abbreviated git status summary e.g.:
+
+    C:\GitHub\posh-git [master ≡]>
+
+    [{HEAD-name} S +A ~B -C !D | +E ~F -G !H W]
+
+    * [ (BeforeText)
+      * {HEAD-name} is the current branch, or the SHA of a detached HEAD
+        * Cyan means the branch matches its remote
+        * Green means the branch is ahead of its remote (green light to push)
+        * Red means the branch is behind its remote
+        * Yellow means the branch is both ahead of and behind its remote
+
+      * S represents the branch status in relation to remote (tracked origin) branch
+        * ≡ = Local branch is at the same commit level as the remote branch
+              (BranchIdenticalStatus)
+        * ↑ = Local branch is ahead of the remote branch, a 'git push' is
+              required to update the remote branch (BranchAheadStatus)
+        * ↓ = Local branch is behind the remote branch, a 'git pull' is
+              required to update the local branch (BranchBehindStatus)
+        * ↕ = Local branch is both ahead and behind the remote branch, a
+              rebase of the local branch is required before pushing local
+              changes to the remote branch (`BranchBehindAndAheadStatus`)
+
+      * ABCD represents the index | EFGH represents the working directory
+        * + = Added files
+        * ~ = Modified files
+        * - = Removed files
+        * ! = Conflicted files
+        * Index status is dark green and working directory status is dark red
+          reflecting the colors used by 'git status'.
+
+      * W represents the status of the working directory
+        * ! = There are untracked changes (LocalStagedStatus)
+        * ~ = There are staged changes waiting to be committed (LocalWorkingStatus)
+        * None = There are no uncommitted or unstaged changes (LocalDefault)
+    * ] (AfterText)
+
+    The (symbols) and surrounding text can be customized by the corresponding
+    properties of the global variable $GitPromptSettings.
+
+    For example, a status summary of [master ≡ +0 ~2 -1 | +1 ~1 -0 !]
+    corresponds to the following 'git status':
+
+        # On branch master
+        #
+        # Changes to be committed:
+        #   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
+        #
+        #        modified:   this-changed.txt
+        #        modified:   this-too.txt
+        #        deleted:    gone.ps1
+        #
+        # Changed but not updated:
+        #   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+        #   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+        #
+        #        modified:   not-staged.ps1
+        #
+        # Untracked files:
+        #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
+        #
+        #        new.file
+
+USAGE AND CUSTOMIZATION
+    See profile.example.ps1 for an example of how you can integrate the tab
+    completion and/or git prompt into your own profile. Prompt formatting,
+    among other things, can be customized using the global variables
+    $GitPromptSettings, $GitTabSettings and $TortoiseGitSettings.
+
+PERFORMANCE
+    Displaying Git status in your prompt for a very large repository can
+    be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off Git status entirely, you can
+    disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths
+    to $GitPromptSettings.RepositoriesInWhichToDisableFileStatus.
+
+PRIMARY COMMANDS
+    Get-GitStatus:
+    Returns information about the current Git repository as
+    well as the index and working directory.
+
+    Write-GitStatus:
+    Writes directly to host the formatted text, as described above in the
+    GIT STATUS PROMPT section, when passed in the repository information
+    returned by Get-GitStatus e.g. Write-GitStatus (Get-GitStatus)
+
+    Write-VcsStatus:
+    Gets the Git repository information and writes it formatted, as described
+    above in the GIT STATUS PROMPT section, directly to the host.
