Install Git via PowerShell

It's easy!

Run:

winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget

Then you'll see something like:

Found Git [Git.Git] Version 2.42.0

The installer will request to run as administrator, expect a prompt.
Successfully installed

Even though it says The installer will request to run as administrator, expect a prompt., I was not required to enter an admin password, which is nice on an IT administered work laptop.

After installation, close the PowerShell window!

Open another PowerShell window and you should be able to check your git version:

git --version

You should see:

git version 2.42.0.windows.1

You're good to go!
