 I've been a long-time fan of Linux and MacOS for development, but I recently set a challenge for myself to set up my development environment in Windows PowerShell. One part of that is working with Git and repositories in GitHub.
 
 ## Step 1: Install and configure OpenSSH
-(from https://phoenixnap.com/kb/generate-ssh-key-windows-10)
-Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features -> Optional Features (or just press Windows and type Optional Features)
-Check to make sure OpenSSH Client is there. Otherwise click "Add a feature" and add it

-Press the Windows key or open the Start menu and search for "Services"
-Double-click on "OpenSSH Authentication Agent"
-Change Startup type to `Automatic`
-Click **Start** under Service Status
+1. Click the **Start** menu and navigate to Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features -> Optional Features (or just press the Windows key and search for "Optional Features")
+2. In the "Optional Features" window, check to make sure OpenSSH Client is in the list. Otherwise click **Add a feature** and add it.
+3. Press the Windows key or open the Start menu and search for "Services"
+4. In the "Services" window, double-click on "OpenSSH Authentication Agent"
+5. Change "Startup type" to `Automatic`
+6. Click the **Start** button under "Service Status"
 
 ## Step 2: Install Git
 1. Download [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com) and run the installer.
 2. At the "Adjusting your PATH environment" step, select the "Git from the command line and also from 3rd-party software" option.
 3. At the "Choosing the SSH executable" step, select "Use external OpenSSH".
 4. Choose the rest of the options at your discretion.
 5. (Optional) [Install Posh Git and other helpers](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Appendix-A%3A-Git-in-Other-Environments-Git-in-PowerShell).
-  1. Right-click PowerShell and click "Run as Administrator"
-  2. Run `Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force`
-  3. Close that window and open PowerShell normally.
-  4. Run `Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser -Force`
-  5. Run `Import-Module posh-git`
-  6. Run `Add-PoshGitToProfile -AllHosts` to load posh-git automatically whenever PowerShell starts.

 ## Step 3: Generate the SSH Key and add it to GitHub
 1. Open PowerShell
 2. Run `ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"` and follow the prompts.
 3. Run `ssh-add.exe ~\.ssh\id_ed25519` to add the key to your ssh-agent.
 4. Run `Get-Content ~\.ssh\id_ed25519.pub | clip`. This will copy the public key to your clipboard.
-5. [Add a new SSH key in GitHub](https://github.com/settings/ssh/new) and paste the public key into the "Key" field
