    I use pwsh on all platforms. All automation is done with it, and in many cases web app functionality depends on it running in background all the time (for large public services).

    Even our GitLab runner uses pwsh.

    To organizse build/scripts we use Invoke-Build, a cross-platform task runner: https://github.com/nightroman/Invoke-Build

    So I need to take a step back and Start-DscConfiguration won't be my entry point to deployment. I need a .ps1 script that installs modules. Or, bear with me, I'll be using a PowerShell build tool: Invoke-Build.

    I discovered the Invoke-Build build system, PSScriptAnalyzer for linting, and Pester for testing/mocking. I wrote a GitLab CI/CD pipeline that takes advantage of all of this to push releases to our company's PSRepo. I also discovered the Plaster template system for scaffolding new projects, and created a custom company template for standardizing our repo structures.
