Miscellaneous
Contains 500+ free and stand-alone PowerShell scripts for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. Useful on the command-line (CLI), for remote control via SSH, for automation (on startup/login/logoff/daily/hourly/shutdown or via AutoHotkey/Jenkins/etc.), for context menus, for voice commands (see talk2windows), or simply to learn PowerShell. All scripts are located in the ๐scripts subfolder and support Unicode - a modern console like Windows Terminal is recommended.
