PowerShell

Microsoft's cross-platform shell and scripting

Description

Want to manage systems in bulk and automate repetitive tasks, but find old batch scripting too weak? PowerShell is Microsoft's answer—pipelines pass objects, not text, so you grab processes, files and services and call their properties and methods directly, making scripts clear and powerful. Now open-source and cross-platform across Windows, macOS and Linux, a staple for ops and dev.

Features



Object-oriented: commands pass structured objects for precise data handling.

Powerful automation: a scripting tool for bulk-managing systems, services and config.

Cross-platform: runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Module ecosystem: open source with a huge library of modules.
