Configuration

Synopsis

An overview of the Configuration functions in PSProfile.

Description

PSProfile contains certain functions aimed at managing the PSProfile configuration itself. These are primarily wrapping methods on the PSProfile object directly for convenience.

Commands

Import-PSProfile

Invokes $PSProfile.Load() to run through the actions typically performed during the initial import of PSProfile. Useful when adding new items to PSProfile mid-session.

Import-PSProfileConfiguration

Used when importing a non-standard configuration from a specific path, e.g. one you have migrated from another machine.

Save-PSProfile

Invokes $PSProfile.Save() to save your current PSProfile object back to the Configuration file.

Update-PSProfileConfig

Invokes $PSProfile.Refresh() which runs PSProfile tasks that are not intended to run often, such as Project Path discovery or module installation. This is normally done on a specified frequency (default is 1 hour), calling this function will refresh your PSProfile on command. Useful if you've just updated your PSProfile and would like to refresh it's configuration to reflect the new addition.

Update-PSProfileRefreshFrequency

Updates the Refresh Frequency for PSProfile. Refreshes are performed during the next PSProfile load after the Refresh Frequency timespan has passed since the last refresh, e.g. if your last refresh was greater than 1 hour ago and your Refresh Frequency is set to 01:00:00, a refresh will occur during the next PSProfile load automatically.
