PowerShell is a cross-platform task automation solution made up of a command-line shell, a scripting language, and a configuration management framework. PowerShell runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This is a repository for session on Tips and tricks from working with PowerShell daily. Focusing on productivity, usage and hidden tricks to get to the desired state.
If you are not familiar with PowerShell, you can start by reading the PowerShell Documentation.
In this demo repository we will look through common uses of PowerShell, some obvious, but some not so obvious operations to help you with day to day tasks.
You will need to have PowerShell installed. Check instructions here. You can run all of the demos without any profiles or modules installed.
When there will be a need to install specific module, you can see instructions how to install specific module ( Install-Module ....).
I've shown demos in 7.3.1 version of PowerShell, but most of the demos will work in previous versions as well.
To be able to run the demos in modules part, you will need to compile the code in src folder before you can use it in PowerShell session. To be able to do that, you will need to have .NET installed.
Set-Location "src/PWSHDemos/PWSH.K8S"
