PowerShell

PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework developed by Microsoft.

It provides a command-line interface (CLI) and a scripting language designed for system administrators and power users to manage and automate administrative tasks in Windows and cross-platform environments.

Key features of PowerShell include cmdlets for specific actions, pipeline for chaining commands, scripting capabilities, remote management, module system, object-oriented approach, and cross-platform support through PowerShell Core.

For example, the PowerShell command Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.WorkingSet -gt 1GB } retrieves a list of processes and filters those with a working set greater than 1 GB.

PowerShell is a versatile tool for automating tasks, managing systems, and scripting complex operations in Windows and multi-platform environments.
