Welcome to the PowerShell GitHub Community!
2016-08-26 21:08:50 +02:00
PowerShell 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.

Downloading the Source Code
2016-07-27 23:47:03 +02:00
---------------------------
2016-07-21 02:09:41 +02:00
The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules.
2016-07-27 23:47:03 +02:00
2016-08-11 07:52:53 +02:00
To make things easy, you can just clone recursively:
2016-07-21 02:09:41 +02:00
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git
```
2016-07-21 02:23:06 +02:00
If you already cloned but forgot to use `--recursive` , you can update submodules manually:
2016-07-27 23:47:03 +02:00
2016-07-21 02:23:06 +02:00
```sh
2016-07-27 23:47:03 +02:00
git submodule update --init
2016-07-21 02:23:06 +02:00
```
