My PowerShell Profile

🚨 This repository is no longer maintained. See github.com/tseknet/dotfiles for my latest PowerShell profile.

My PowerShell profile is a collection of functions that add neat shortcuts and functionality to all of my PowerShell consoles by default.

See this blog post for a detailed breakdown.

Installation

If you want to just get started with copying my homework run the following command in PowerShell as administrator:

iex ((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://github.com/tseknet/PowerShell-Profile/raw/master/install.ps1'))

⚠ As always, be sure you're aware of what you're downloading from the internet. You can view the source on GitHub and inspect the code prior to downloading/executing anything described in this post. I've begun working on making my profile into a PowerShell module to make this easier to install.

Usage

The following functions are included with this profile:

Set-Path, Import-MyModules, Get-Elevation, Set-WindowTitle, Import-GitRepo, Install-Fonts, Copy-LastCommand, Edit-Profile, Open-HistoryFile, Get-FileHash256, Get-ExportedFunctions

Included Modules

I can't take all the credit. The following (awesome) modules will be installed by default:

1. posh-git: Integrates Git and PowerShell by providing Git status summary information
2. oh-my-posh: Theme engine for PowerShell
3. Get-ChildItemColor: Provides colorization of outputs of Get-ChildItem Cmdlet of PowerShell
4. PSWriteHTML: Output PowerShell commands to a formatted HTML page
