Spring-cleaning of a PowerShell profile
After I read James Manning's post why share-able functions shouldn't be in your PowerShell profile, I have looked in my $profile. It was far from small file focused on prompt function, transcript function, one-liners and aliases. So, I created a few subfolders (AD, ISA, Exchange, Misc, Test...) for my scripts in WindowsPowerShell folder. Also, the functions found their place in dedicated folder Functions. The only thing that left is to put all folders with scripts in my path and to dot-source functions from Functions folder.
$profilehome = ([System.IO.FileInfo]$PROFILE).DirectoryName
dir $profilehome | where {$_.PsIsContainer -and ($_.name -ne "functions")} | %{$env:path += ";" + $profilehome + "\" + $_.name}
dir ($profilehome + "\functions") | where {!$_.PsIsContainer} |
%{. ($profilehome + "\functions\" + $_.name)}
$profile is now clean and tidy, and in James Manning's words - it's a far more robust, maintainable, shareable, and supportable situation than before.
