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.
