tom torggler 11 jan 2020

tom torggler 19 apr 2019

Some time ago I wrote a post about [Consuming ntSystems with PowerShell](https://link).

Keeping track of PowerShellCore releases on GitHub

tom torggler 16 apr 2017

I've been using PowerShell Core on my [MacBook](/post/PowerShell-on-macOS) for a while now.

I did miss some updates and, as a result, had problems with Visual Studio Code. So I've put together a quick function that checks the latest release on GitHub and can conveniently be put into my `$PROFILE`.
