Sitecore.Ship is a great tool for setting up continuous delivery with Sitecore. With it, you can install packages over HTTP, but until now the easiest tool to use for scripting those HTTP requests was cURL. With this PowerShell module, you can eliminate that dependency from your suite of tools.
Remotely installing a package is as simple as ssinstall www.mysite.com c:\mypackage.update -FileUpload
The functions in this module support all operations of Sitecore.Ship, and are self-documented so that Get-Help commands provide descriptions, syntax, and examples. Use these functions to build a repeatable deployment script for any environment!
Note: I've only tested this module with PowerShell version 3. Older operating systems may only have PowerShell version 2. How to update PowerShell.
Recommended Method: Install with PsGet (the NuGet of PowerShell modules).
