Mega Collection of PowerShell Scripts

This repository provides more than 250 useful and cross-platform PowerShell scripts in the Scripts subfolder - to be used by command-line interface (CLI), for remote control (e.g. via SSH), by context menu, by voice control, by automation software like Jenkins, automatically as daily tasks, or simply to learn PowerShell. See the FAQ page if you need help or have any questions.

Note: the scripts fully support Unicode characters. It's recommended to use a modern console supporting UTF-8 (e.g. Windows Terminal).
