PowerShell Profile

I don’t remember where my PowerShell profile is located, but there’s a variable $PROFILE:

$PROFILE

Open folder with profile in VS Code:

code $PROFILE/..

Now you can track whole profile directory in git. (aka dotfiles for PowerShell). To avoid tracking unnecessary files, you can create .gitignore and ignore everything except files you want to track:

/*
!.gitignore
!README.md
!Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
!powershell.config.json

!.vscode/
!clean-detailed.omp.json
!robbyrussell.omp.json
!Commands/

I also created Commands folder where I put various PowerShell scripts I want to use. Then I load all scripts from Commands folder in my profile:

# Load all scripts from Commands folder
$commandsDir = Join-Path $PSScriptRoot "Commands"
if (Test-Path $commandsDir) {
    Get-ChildItem -Path $commandsDir -Filter *.ps1 -File | ForEach-Object {
        . $_.FullName
    }
}

Now you can create various scripts in Commands folder and use them in PowerShell.
