Remove appended version information from window title?

[ransagy]

System Details

• posh-git version/path: 1.0.0.0 beta3x C:\Code\posh-git\src
• PowerShell version: 6.2.4
• git version 2.25.0.windows.1
• OS: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0

Issue Description

Adding posh-git to my profile makes the window title for Powershell windows end in the "Powershell 6.2.4 64-bit (PROCESS_ID_HERE)" suffix. I tried investigating a little inside the scripts but didn't find anything specific. Is this known/on purpose? is there a way to remove it? It makes the titles very long which is a bit of a problem in some scenarios (tab titles in Windows Terminal, for example).

You can customize the title bar setting in several ways. To disable posh-git changing it:

$global:GitPromptSettings.WindowTitle = $false

or to modify it:

$global:GitPromptSettings.WindowTitle = {
    param($GitStatus, [bool]$IsAdmin)
    "PS $($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major).$($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Minor)"
}

Put either one of those in your profile script after posh-git is imported.

Also, if you're using the latest Windows Terminal with tabWidthMode set to equal the long titles won't make the tab excessively wide and you can still see the title by hovering over it. Or by executing $host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle.

The purpose for the change is to show posh status info in the title bar when in a Git dir.

Ah! I swear i looked for those strings and somehow missed them.
I'll just redefine the function without the version/bitness info and leave the rest as-is.
Thanks!
