Git and Powershell

Just wanted to say that if anybody is on Windows and you want to use Powershell then although the video suggests that you select 'Git bash only' I would select the 'run Git from Windows command prompt' option as I was never able to get Git commands working from PS when I had it installed the other way.

Yeah, this is fine, and a good tip! Running things from the Git bash console provides you with a better way to follow along with the lessons, which is why it's the default instructions that we provide. Obviously if you know what you're doing and want to follow along with a different setup, that is highly encouraged :)

Very true - I used Git bash for the lessons and definitely learned a lot - thanks!
