My PowerShell profile with posh-git, posh-docker and oh-my-posh

Powershell profile

This is my Powershell profile.

Getting Started

• Installation process: clone or copy to $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\WindowsPowerShell. Or just cherry pick pieces.

# run as administrator

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

• Software dependencies: Windows 10, 8 or 7
• Read about Posh-Git if you are a Git user -- GitHub, Better Git with PowerShell - You've been Haacked
• The Profile is a good place for command line aliases for commands not included in Powershell. Examples are like Windows cmd commands, shortened commands to save on typing.
• For longer aliases or commands, Powershell functions work well. Look at Remove-Service in the Profile for an example of a missing Powershell command.
• Keep in mind -- if the Profile gets too bloated Powershell start up is slow. Running ngen.ps1 can shorten the PowerShell startup as well as other dotNet apps.
• Approved Verbs for PowerShell Commands
