Collection of useful PowerShell modules and scripts

About

Collection of Powershell modules and scripts for everyday tasks. Use at your own risk.

Installation

Using Scoop

• add this repository as a bucket
  • scoop bucket add valor-modulis https://github.com/wookiefriseur/valor-modulis
• get a list of modules
  • all modules share a common prefix to make it easier to identify and find them
  • scoop search vm_
• install a module
  • scoop install vm_hashutils
  • scoop install valor-modulis/vm_hashutils (optional: specify bucket)
• the module is automatically symlinked to a scoop directory in $ENV:PSModulePath
  • autoimport should trigger when you try to use a function from a module (for instance Get-Hash "Hallo")
  • try to use Import-Module HashUtils if autoimport fails

If you don't have Scoop yet

Invoke-Expression (New-Object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://get.scoop.sh')
Set-Executionpolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Manually

Not recommended, but you can either clone each module separately or all of them recursively and keep them updated like so:

• git clone --recurse-submodules
• git pull
• git submodule update --recursive --remote

After cloning the repository you can add the functions to the current terminal session through:

• dot sourcing: . script.ps1
• import if it's a module: Import-Module ModuleName.psm1

For persistent scripts, load them in your psprofile. For automatic module import, put it into one of your $ENV:PSModulePath. Use prefixes in case of naming conflicts.

Uninstalling

Scoop

• Uninstall providing the Module name:
  • scoop uninstall Get-Hash
  • scoop uninstall valor-modulis/Get-Hash (optional: specify bucket)
• bucket can be removed as follows:
  • scoop bucket rm valor-modulis

Manually

• Remove-Module Get-Hash (this will only unload a module)
• uninstall it in scoop for a more permanent solution

Troubleshooting

Bucket not updating

Can happen if the bucket inside ~\scoop is broken. Easiest way is to just add it again.

1. remove bucket
2. cleanup
3. add bucket again
4. check

scoop bucket rm valor-modulis
scoop cleanup *
scoop bucket add valor-modulis https://github.com/wookiefriseur/valor-modulis
scoop search vm_
