Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force

Import-Module -Name PowerShellGet

PowerShellGet\Install-Module -Name posh-git -Force

OpenSSH-Win64 instead of Windows 10/11 build-in

If you concider problems with ssh-key-based authentication, it's likely the build-in SSH Client of Windows 10/11.

Workaround:

• Remove the build-in SSH-Client from Windows 10/11
• Install OpenSSH-Win64, e.g.: choco install openssh

ToggleDarkMode with AutoHotKey

The scriptings provided here do the following:

• AutoHotKey.ahk is a small config file to create a KeyBinding to do something, e.g. execute a script as in this case it will do with <CTRL>+<ALT>+d it will run the also provided RunPowerShellHidden.vbs script with ToggleDarkMode.ps1 as target powershell script.
• As mentioned, RunPowerShellHidden.vbs will exactly do what it stands for, it will execute a powershell script provided as a parameter without opening a powershell window. This is a workaround, as running powershell directly even with parameter -WindowMode Hidden will still show a powershell window for a short moment on execution.
• The script ToggleDarkMode.ps1 will also do exactly what it stands for, it will check wether Windows Theme Dark is enabled or not and switches to the opposite.
• Please make sure to keep scriptings in the same folder and do not move them around after creating the shortcut for Startup (see below).
• When everything is fine you can easily switch between Dark and Light Theme by the defined KeyBinding. Enjoy!
