When installing Git for Windows (https://gitforwindows.org/) one can choose between "Use MinTTY (the default terminal of MSYS2)" or "Use Windows' default console window". Git for Windows Installation Step

Say i'd like to use PowerShell, can i somehow get a similar git representation here e.g. see the current branch in Powershell? (... and all the other information which is hided in the local .git folder)

I'm using Git for Windows 2.25.1
