Have you finished spending a few months of lunches learning #PowerShell? Next on your plate should be one of the most comprehensive scripting books written by the original PowerShell experts. Includes PowerShell 7 content.

“PowerShell was, is, and always will be about the user community… whatever tool makes you successful, that’s the tool you should use.” - @jsnover.com , inventor of PowerShell

This mindset is what makes the PowerShell community so special. It’s never been about one tool or one way.

I've published v2.8.0 of the PSBluesky module to the #PowerShell Gallery. I haven't made it an official dependency, but I recommend also installing the pwshSpectreConsole module.

If you are a big #PowerShell fan and new to Bluesky, take a look at the PSBluesky module. Install from the PowerShell Gallery and then run Open-BskyHelp to launch a PDF help file. The module requires PS7, and works cross-platform. Please post cross-platform issues in the GitHub repo.

Gotta love when a single #PowerShell command can safely `git clean -xfd` 277 #git repos and free up 55GB of space 😎 You can do the same.

Set yours:
