A PowerShell module containing my personal utility functions.

Use install.ps1 to install or upgrade ArdisUtilities.

By default, the module is added to the current session only:

To keep the module installed on future sessions, pass the -Persist parameter:

"& { $(irm 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ardislu/ArdisUtilities/main/install.ps1') } -Persist" | iex

To uninstall, delete the ArdisUtilities folder within the first location in $env:PSModulePath (typically $HOME\Documents\PowerShell\Modules (Windows) or $HOME/.local/share/powershell/Modules (non-Windows)).
