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
I as well think hence, perfectly composed post! .
