Automate your processes used to manage your PowerShell code–5 part series.

I have written a brief 5 part series on Automating your PowerShell environment to increase productivity.

This involves several key components that come together to streamline writing and accessing scripts, functions, modules and Help information in our PowerShell environment.

One of the important factors is the SkyDrive that does the back end replication of our files. One thing to note is that some of the features such as updateable Help discussed in the series is based around PowerShell Version 3.0.

Here is some of the architecture:

Here are the links to the articles:

1. Are you following me? PowerShell everywhere, with SkyDrive. How to keep your files in Sync.
2. Save your Pennies in a jar! Building your own module to save your code.
3. Save time, Save your settings, Set Defaults with PSDefaultParameterValues.
4. Help is on the way. Easily Save and Update Help across all of your systems.
5. Save your Pennies in a jar! Create some shortcuts to easily manage your code and scripts.

I hope that you may find some useful ideas from these posts, I certainly enjoy being able to work on any of my own machines and know that I will have ALL of my code and functions available.

I particularly like some of the new PowerShell v 3.0 features such as the default parameter sets and I bet you could think of many new uses to leverage this feature.

Also if you have any more tips and tricks I would love to hear some of them . . .
