In PowerShell, you can use Comment-Based Help snippets to better define what your function or script is doing, its examples, inputs, and outputs.
When you are building functions in PowerShell, you can use Comment-Based Help snippets at the beginning of the function body, at the end of the function body or before the Function keyword.
If you do this, the Get-Help cmdlet will show the information contained in the code for your function (making it super easy for anyone to use and understand it!).
In PowerShell, you can easily create variables without explicitly typing them and that leads to some hardcoded "magic" strings.
Instead of using XML, JSON, YAML, or TXT files, PowerShell "accidentally" created a very nice configuration file format, PSD1.
PSD1 us the filename extension for PowerShell module descriptions, and this file contains metadata for that module. You can, however, load any kind of data from a PSD1 file using a simple cmdlet.
