Towards a better console – PSReadLine for PowerShell command line editing
Sometimes text mode is where it’s at. I’ve long blogged about tools and techniques that will make your Windows console experience better. Perhaps you’re a *nix person who is using Windows in your day job, or you wish the Windows PowerShell prompt was more nix-y. Or perhaps you’re a PowerShell person who wants to take your command-line to the next level.
Well, just as NuGet is how we get .NET libraries quickly, and Chocolately is a kind of apt-get for Windows, PsGet is a way to easily add PowerShell modules to your prompt.
To install PsGet you run this script (feel free to vet it):
(new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(“http://psget.net/GetPsGet.ps1”) | iex
Once you’ve got PsGet, the purpose of this post is to introduce you to PSReadLine.
To install PsReadLine with PsGet, just
install-module PsReadLine
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.
I really enjoy reading through on this web site, it contains good blog posts.

Wow, wonderful blog layout! How lengthy have you ever been blogging for? you make blogging look easy. The total look of your website is wonderful, let alone the content!
Howdy this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
