Summary

PowerShell is a task automation and configuration shell built on .NET. It uses cmdlets with verb_noun names. Output is objects, not text. You connect commands with the pipeline. Discover commands with get_command and learn usage with get_help. Features include modules, scripts (.ps1), and parameters with parameter_binding. Access data with providers. Use remoting for remote sessions. PowerShell runs cross-platform as powershell_core and on Windows as windows_powershell.
