PSModuleDevelopment

Welcome to your one stop for PowerShell development tools! This project is designed to help you with accelerating your coding workflows through a wide range of utilities. Its flagship feature is a templating engine that allows you to swiftly create new projects - either by using some of the default templates or easily creating your own.

Online Documentation

As this module is part of the PSFramework project, its documentation can be found on PSFramework.org.

As ever, documentation takes time out of "more features!", so there could be more, but at least the templating is covered in depth.

Install

To get read to use this module, run this:

Install-Module PSModuleDevelopment -Scope CurrentUser
