Powershell Sync Profile

Sync Powershell profile with Github

This will describe how I am using Github to sync and update my powershell profile (note however that this is probably not best practice since I will be loading scripts from the internet. Do not just copy and paste)

This script will create/overwrite the existing three profiles for PS7, PS5 and ISE

# Create profile for both PS Core, PS and ISE
$PS7path = "C:\Users\$ENV:USERNAME\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1"
$PS5path = "C:\Users\$ENV:USERNAME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1"
$PS5ISEpath = "C:\Users\$ENV:USERNAME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShellISE_profile.ps1"


New-Item -Path $PS7path -Force 
New-Item -Path $PS5path -Force
New-Item -Path $PS5ISEpath -Force

Add

$content = @"
# Load profile from Github
Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qhrizz/Public/master/Windows/Powershell/Profile.ps1'))
"@

Set-Content -Path $PS7path -Value $content
Set-Content -Path $PS5path -Value $content
Set-Content -Path $PS5ISEpath -Value $content
