PowerShell Profile

PatEvs' PowerShell 5.x and pwsh 7.x profile.

Installation and Usage Instructions

Using Git and the bootstrap script

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/patevs/powershell-profile.git
cd powershell-profile
# Install the profile:
.\bootstrap.ps1

Git-free install

Note: You must have your execution policy set to unrestricted (or at least in bypass) for this to work. To set this, run Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted from a PowerShell running as Administrator.

To install these dotfiles from PowerShell without Git:

iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.github.com/patevs/powershell-profile/master/setup/install.ps1'))

To update later on, just run that command again.

Sensible Windows Defaults

When setting up a new Windows PC, you may want to set some Windows defaults and features, such as showing hidden files in Windows Explorer and installing IIS. This will also set your machine name and full user name, so you may want to modify this file before executing.

cd pwsh
.\windows.ps1
