With PowerShell, you can truly learn something new every day if you want. There are tons of great modules, tips, and tricks that we can use. But how do you find them? This is where the new module, PowerShell tIPS comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tiPS will show a PowerShell-related tip every time you open PowerShell, just like some software programs or even games do on their loading screens. This provides a really low-effort way to learn new things about PowerShell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The module is community-driven, meaning that everybody can contribute by sharing helpful and valuable tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instal and Configure tiPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To install the module, we can simply use the Install-Module cmdlet to install it from the PowerShell Gallery. I recommend installing it in the current user scope so that the module is only available in your user account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

# Install the module\nInstall-Module -Name tiPS -Scope CurrentUser<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The next step is to add the module to your PowerShell profile. You can do this manually, but it is even easier to use the cmdlet below to add it automatically for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# Add the module to your PowerShell profile\nAdd-TiPSImportToPowerShellProfile<\/pre>\n\n\n
