using posh-git with conemu

Question

I tried doing what the fellow at this site managed:

https://github.com/rajmenon/KB/wiki/Setup-a-ConEmu-task-for-posh-git--(w--Github-for-windows)

doing the same as he using the keybind in conemu results in

'`powershell' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

'`powershell' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

typing just powershell in conemu results in a fine running powershell(x64) process, so I don't think this is a path issue. im on conemu 64 as well.

Looks like there are stray back-tick (`) characters in those instructions. They are used to delimit code blocks in markdown, but so is putting four spaces before the code on a new line. It looks like the author tried to do both.

The fix is to ignore those back ticks at the start and end of those commands.

`powershell -noexit -command Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass;.$env:LocalAppData\GitHub\shell.ps1;.$env:github_posh_git\profile.example.ps1 -new_console:a`

should be:

powershell -noexit -command Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass;.$env:LocalAppData\GitHub\shell.ps1;.$env:github_posh_git\profile.example.ps1 -new_console:a
