PowerShell Profiles

 PowerShell Profiles

PowerShell Profiles are scripts that are automatically run when you start a PowerShell session. You can use PowerShell Profiles to customize your PowerShell environment by defining custom aliases, functions, variables, and other settings. PowerShell supports several different types of profiles, including the global profile, the current user profile, and the current host profile. Here's an example:

# Open the current user's PowerShell profile

notepad $profile.CurrentUserAllHosts

# Add a custom alias to the profile

Set-Alias -Name ll -Value ls -Force

In this example, we use the $profile variable to open the current user's PowerShell profile in Notepad. We then add a custom alias to the profile using the Set-Alias cmdlet. The custom alias (ll) maps to the ls command, which lists the contents of the current directory.
