Welcome to my personal PowerShell profile repository! 🎉 This collection of PowerShell scripts is designed to bring a touch of the Linux command-line experience to Windows systems. 🐧By implementing popular Linux commands like cat, grep, and more, you can enjoy a more familiar and powerful command-line environment. 🛠️

Feel free to use, fork, and customize these scripts to enhance your own command-line experience. 🔧 Developed for personal use, but feel free to use, fork, and customize this as you like. 🚀

Never directly inject any code from the World-Wide-Web into your devices, that you have not read through and verified it's safe! To make sure this can never happen to you, fork this repository and edit the file: Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 and change the Variable $GithubUser and $Name to your GithubUsername and your real name for the Welcoming Message.

• Paste this into your Powershell, make sure to change the username if you forked the repository:

iex (iwr "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CrazyWolf13/unix-pwsh/main/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1").Content

• Bash-like Shell Experience: Mimics Unix shell functionality, bringing familiarity to Windows PowerShell. 🐧
• Oh My Posh Integration: Enhances the user interface with stylish prompts and Git status indicators. ⚡
• Deferred Loading: Improves function loading time for a smoother experience. 🕒
• Automatic Installation: The scripts automatically install necessary modules and components on first execution. 🛠️
• Automatic Updates: This projects updates itself in the background, just make sure to merge changes if you forked my repository.
• Local Cache: Improved speed by using a local cache of all the files which is frequently pulled from the internet, allowing full offline access.

Here is an image, how the finished config looks like, but this can be easily changed, via OhMyPosh. However, this preview is not so meaningful, as most of the visual configuration is done by OhMyPosh.

• Terminal-Icons Module: Enhances terminal UI with icons. 🎨
• Powershell-Yaml: Facilitates configuration with a YAML file, saving time. 📝
• PoshFunctions: Essential functions for PowerShell. ⚙️
• FiraCode Nerd Font: Installs a stylish font for code readability. 🅰️
• Oh My Posh: Provides customizable prompt themes. 🎨

• The configuration file is located at: ~/pwsh_custom_config.yml. This file stores all the configuration variables, facilitating faster loading by eliminating the need to check for installed elements every time.

• All configurable options, including module installation preferences and feature toggles, are centralized within this YAML file. This centralized approach streamlines the initialization process, ensuring a quicker and more efficient startup experience. 🚀

• To activate this configuration:

1. Paste in this command: iex (iwr "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CrazyWolf13/unix-pwsh/main/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1").Content.
2. The PowerShell profile is automatically created and the profile injected into, if it does not exist. If it exists, manually place the snippet provided here into the $PROFILE by typing notepad $PROFILE into PowerShell. 🛠️:

if (Test-Path (Join-Path -Path $env:USERPROFILE -ChildPath "unix-pwsh\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1")) { . (Join-Path -Path $env:USERPROFILE -ChildPath  "unix-pwsh\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1") } else { iex (iwr "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CrazyWolf13/unix-pwsh/main/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1").Content }

3. Make sure to point Windows Terminal to pwsh instead of powershell, as pwsh is the open-sourced 7.x.x version of PowerShell (PowerShell Core). 🔄
4. Enjoy the enhanced PowerShell experience! 🎉
