pi-powershell

PowerShell extension for pi - the terminal coding harness.

Features

• Replaces bash with PowerShell on Windows
• Auto-translates bash commands to PowerShell equivalents
• Preserves native PowerShell cmdlets

Auto-Translation Support

| Bash | PowerShell | |------|------------| | ls, ll, la | Get-ChildItem | | pwd | Get-Location | | cat file | Get-Content file | | echo "text" | Write-Output "text" | | mkdir dir | New-Item -ItemType Directory | | touch file | New-Item -ItemType File | | rm -rf dir | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force | | grep pattern file | Select-String -Pattern | | ps | Get-Process | | which cmd | Get-Command \| Select-Object -ExpandProperty Source | | ls \| grep pattern | Get-ChildItem \| Where-Object | | ls \| wc -l | Get-ChildItem \| Measure-Object -Line | | ls \| head -n | Get-ChildItem \| Select-Object -First | | $HOME, $PATH | $env:HOME, $env:PATH | | export VAR=value | $env:VAR=value |

Native PowerShell cmdlets pass through unchanged:

!Get-Process | Select-Object -First 5
!Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq 'Running'}

npm install -g pi-powershell

Or in pi:

pi install pi-powershell
