Get-GitSize

SYNOPSIS

Get the size of .git folder.

SYNTAX

Get-GitSize [[-Path] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

When using git, it creates a hidden folder for change tracking. Because the file is hidden it is easy to overlook how large it might become. The command uses a formatting file to display a default view. There is an additional table view called MB that you can use.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\Scripts\PiedPiper> Get-GitSize

Path                                          Files          SizeKB
----                                          -----          ------
C:\scripts\PiedPiper                            751       6859.9834

Get the size of the .git folder from the current path.

EXAMPLE 2
