Project Structure

PowerShellCliTools/
├── PowerShellCliTools.psd1
├── PowerShellCliTools.psm1
├── Public/
└── Private/

Public commands live in Public, while shared helpers stay in Private. This keeps the module easier to extend without growing one large script file.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/lkhorasandzhian/powershell-cli-tools
cd powershell-cli-tools
.\install.ps1

The installer copies the module to your PowerShell modules directory and adds an Import-Module line to your PowerShell profile.

🚀 Install

Run the install script:

.\install.ps1

This will:

1. Copy the module to your PowerShell modules directory
2. Automatically update your $PROFILE by adding an Import-Module call
3. Enable tools on every PowerShell startup

🛠 Development

You can import the local module directly while working on it:

Import-Module .\PowerShellCliTools\PowerShellCliTools.psd1 -Force
Get-Command -Module PowerShellCliTools

The module exports PowerShell-style command names and keeps the old shorter names as aliases for convenience.

🚀 Install

Run the install script:

.\install.ps1

If you find this useful, consider giving it a star ❤️ — it really helps the project grow and keeps me motivated to add more tools! More tools and improvements are coming.
