In the last installment of this series, just published a day ago, I mentioned that I’d like to be able to pass in the fake username and computer name to my prompt function, instead of relying on a hard coded value. Let’s back up, but seriously, only for a second. There’s only so much I’m […]
Update: There’s a part nine, now. This, is the topic that will never die. I’m literally about to begin the eighth installment on this topic. There’s no question about it, I love my prompt. In the last installment, we added a more complete PowerShell version number to the prompt, and the entire version number to […]
I’ve been working in Git Bash a decent amount of my time recently, and I’ve found myself becoming used to using the cd command to return to my home directory (/c/Users/tommymaynard). Did you know you could do that? In that shell, as well as my Cygwin shell, it’s possible. I even fired up my Ubuntu […]
Notes: There have been updates to this post since it was first published. See those notes near the bottom of the post. There no huge changes between the most current version of my Linux prompt and this one, but it has changed. Because of that, I’ve decided a new post is in order. All the […]
My most recent post in the Linux Prompt on Windows series, is Part V. Now, we’re on VI and it’s all because of PowerShell 6.0. As 6.0 uses a different $PROFILE script, it was mandatory that I created a new one and quickly copied over my Linux prompt. I hate to be anywhere without it. […]
At current, my site has 230 published posts. It’s 231 when this one goes live. Those are all written by me since mid 2014. I’m not sure of my per month average, but I can say for sure that I’ve never missed a month. Outside of those 230 published posts, are 40 some drafts. Those […]
Sometimes, my life only has time for these short, little lessons. Today, I learned something new, and without even thinking on it long, I went straight to my blog in order to share it. More or less, anyway. Before we get to the interesting part, let’s quickly discuss three PowerShell cmdlets: Set-Location, Push-Location, and Pop-Location. […]
Topic: Reusable Code V Notice: This post is a part of the PowerShell Monday series — a group of quick and easy to read mini lessons that briefly cover beginning and intermediate PowerShell topics. As a PowerShell enthusiast, this seemed like a beneficial way to ensure those around me at work were consistently learning new […]
After a few years of this whole I-do-PowerShell-everyday thing, my profile script has become quite the necessity at both work, and home. In fact, there’s much in my work profile script that I want at home, such as my prompt function, among others. With this ever present need, I set off to create a profile […]
Every time I start to write a new PowerShell function, I manually write the same block of text. No idea how many times I’ve done it, but I’ve finally decided to stop. Today, I wrote it for the last time. I’ve known about ISE snippets for some time, but haven’t taken a minute to get […]
