PowerShell
4 Tools
PowerShell is Microsoft's task automation and configuration management shell, conceived by Jeffrey Snover in a 2002 white paper (the "Monad Manifesto") and first shipped as Windows PowerShell 1.0 in 2006. In 2016, Microsoft open-sourced it under the MIT License and extended it to Linux and macOS, transforming a Windows-only administrator tool into a cross-platform scripting platform built on .NET. The PowerShell Team, based in Redmond, maintains the open-source project.
