Using posh-git and posh-hg together

I use both Git and Mercurial for projects, as well as Powershell as a console for both. Both source control systems have awesome plugins in posh-git and posh-hg that provide nice statuses, tab expansions and so on. However, they don’t just automatically play nice with one another. I installed Github for Windows, and found that my posh-hg stuff went away.

However, thanks to this Stack Overflow answer, it’s easy to use both of these together. I cloned both repositories to my local box, and then just modified the script to point to that version:

function isCurrentDirectoryARepository($type) {

    if ((Test-Path $type) -eq $TRUE) {
        return $TRUE
    }

    # Test within parent dirs
    $checkIn = (Get-Item .).parent
    while ($checkIn -ne $NULL) {
        $pathToTest = $checkIn.fullname + '/' + $type;
        if ((Test-Path $pathToTest) -eq $TRUE) {
            return $TRUE
        } else {
            $checkIn = $checkIn.parent
        }
    }
    return $FALSE
}

# Posh-Hg and Posh-git prompt
# Change this to point to wherever your two profile scripts are

. 'C:\dev\posh-hg\profile.example.ps1'
. 'C:\dev\posh-git\profile.example.ps1'

function prompt(){
    # Reset color, which can be messed up by Enable-GitColors
    $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = $GitPromptSettings.DefaultForegroundColor

    Write-Host($pwd) -nonewline

    if (isCurrentDirectoryARepository(".git")) {
        # Git Prompt
        $Global:GitStatus = Get-GitStatus
        Write-GitStatus $GitStatus
    } elseif (isCurrentDirectoryARepository(".hg")) {
        # Mercurial Prompt
        $Global:HgStatus = Get-HgStatus
        Write-HgStatus $HgStatus
    }

    return "> "
}

Now I get both posh-hg and posh-git working together!
