PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management platform, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built using the .NET Command-Line Interface. PowerShell provides full access to COM and WMI, enabling administrators to automate administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows, Linux, and OS X systems.
If you are new to PowerShell and would like to learn more, we recommend reviewing the getting started documentation.

The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules. To make things easy, we can just clone recursively.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.gitIf you already cloned but forgot to use --recursive, you can update submodules manually:
git submodule init
git submodule updateSee working with the PowerShell repository for more information.
