Welcome to the PowerShell GitHub Community!
2017-07-09 00:20:09 +02:00
PowerShell Core is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation and configuration tool/framework that works well with your existing tools and is optimized
for dealing with structured data (e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models.
It includes a command-line shell, an associated scripting language and a framework for processing cmdlets.

## Windows PowerShell vs. PowerShell Core
2017-07-09 00:20:09 +02:00
2018-07-20 00:15:44 +02:00
Although this repository started as a fork of the Windows PowerShell code base, changes made in this repository do not make their way back to Windows PowerShell 5.1 automatically.
2019-11-19 05:22:12 +01:00
This also means that [issues tracked here][issues] are only for PowerShell Core 6 and higher.
2017-07-09 00:20:09 +02:00
Windows PowerShell specific issues should be opened on [UserVoice][].

## Discussions
[GitHub Discussions ](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/discussions/quickstart ) is a feature to enable fluid and open discussions within the community
for topics that are not related to code, unlike issues.
This is an experiment we are trying in our repositories to see if it helps move discussions out of issues so that issues remain actionable by the team or members of the community.
There should be no expectation that PowerShell team members are regular participants in the discussions.
Individual PowerShell team members may choose to participate in discussions, but the expectation is that community members help drive discussions so that team members
can focus on issues.
Create or join a [discussion ](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/discussions ).

### Telemetry
2018-06-08 07:49:03 +02:00
By default, PowerShell collects the OS description and the version of PowerShell (equivalent to `$PSVersionTable.OS` and `$PSVersionTable.GitCommitId` ) using [Application Insights ](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/application-insights/ ).
2018-04-13 19:29:39 +02:00
To opt-out of sending telemetry, create an environment variable called `POWERSHELL_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT` set to a value of `1` before starting PowerShell from the installed location.
2019-08-30 21:05:26 +02:00
The telemetry we collect falls under the [Microsoft Privacy Statement ](https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement/ ).
