+.SYNOPSIS
+    Modifies your PowerShell profile (startup) script so that it does not import
+    the posh-git module when PowerShell starts.
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Checks if your PowerShell profile script is importing posh-git and if it does,
+    removes the command to import the posh-git module. This will cause PowerShell
+    to no longer load posh-git whenever PowerShell starts.
+.PARAMETER AllHosts
+    By default, this command modifies the CurrentUserCurrentHost profile
+    script.  By specifying the AllHosts switch, the command updates the
+    CurrentUserAllHosts profile (or AllUsersAllHosts, given -AllUsers).
+.PARAMETER AllUsers
+    By default, this command modifies the CurrentUserCurrentHost profile
+    script.  By specifying the AllUsers switch, the command updates the
+    AllUsersCurrentHost profile (or AllUsersAllHosts, given -AllHosts).
+    Requires elevated permissions.
+.EXAMPLE
+    PS C:\> Remove-PoshGitFromProfile
+    Updates your profile script for the current PowerShell host to stop importing
+    the posh-git module when the current PowerShell host starts.
+.EXAMPLE
+    PS C:\> Remove-PoshGitFromProfile -AllHosts
+    Updates your profile script for all PowerShell hosts to no longer import the
+    posh-git module whenever any PowerShell host starts.
+.INPUTS
+    None.
+.OUTPUTS
