Top 23 PowerShell Powershell Projects

My favourite shell environment for windows thus far is combining Git For Windows with scoop[1]. A simple "scoop install git" will get the environment installed, and give you a bash shell and full access to all sorts of windows-native utilities from scoop. Some would say I'd be better off with msys2 or cygwin, but the former is meant more as a development environment and lacks misc utilities, and the latter has what is possibly the worst package manager that is still in use (and generally less stellar integration with windows programs).

Atlas seems to be doing quite a bit like downloading archives, unzipping them, and installing executables.

Project mention: PowerShell: The object-oriented shell you didn't know you needed | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-29
Ah if you want auto completion for native commands they need to be registered first. PSReadLine provides autocompletion support but it only works by default with things builtin to PowerShell itself. For `git` there is a fairly popular module called posh-git [1] that provides auto completion support for some of the well known commands. Git for Windows also calls it out [2]. You can also provide your own custom auto complete calls with Register-ArgumentCompleter [3]. Hope this helps!

Pester is what's used for most Powershell testing. While it has some pretty amazing features, it does have issues with .NET class method mocking and sometimes scope can be weird. Here's a simple example:

Project mention: TomWright/dasel: Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-18
PowerShell[0]'s built-in Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility[1] module has commands to convert from/to JSON[2], CSV[3], a version of XML[4], or custom key/value pairs[5] into objects, which can then be manipulated. Combined with IO cmdlets such as Get-Content[6] and Set-Content[7], a fair chunk of flat-file storage should be able to be made mutable with PowerShell.
