powershell-profile

This powershell profile allows the use of aliases for git commands and adds other useful aliases and functions for web development.

Setup

1. Open up Powershell
2. Change directory to your docouments

cd $env:USERPROFILE\Documents

3. Make the WindowsPowerShell directory and change to it

md WindowsPowerShell
cd WindowsPowerShell

4. Create the PowerShell profile and open it on the PowerShell editor

New-Item Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 -ItemType "file"
powershell_ise.exe .\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

5. Set up the Execution Policy to allow your profile to run. To require that only scripts downloaded by the internet need to be signed by a trusted publisher, run the Execution policy below. If you followed the steps above, then you have created your own profile so it will be allowed to execute.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned CurrentUser

6. Copy the functions you want into your profile. You can run the following command to refresh your profile on PowerShell.

. $profile

Now when you run PowerShell, the profile will be loaded automatically by PowerShell and the shortcut commands will be available to use.

Custom colors for the dir command

You can get custom colors with the PSColor module (https://github.com/Davlind/PSColor). Easiest way to install is to use PsGet. To install PsGet:

(new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://psget.net/GetPsGet.ps1") | iex

Then to install PSColor:

Install-Module PSColor

The dir (or ls if you have it) command will now have different colors for directories and filetypes. It can also be customized in the profile.
