SHORT DESCRIPTION

An overview of the Helper functions in PSProfile.

LONG DESCRIPTION

PSProfile Helpers are functions that enable easier integration with PSProfile.

These include functions to make prompt customization easier as well as functions for Plugin developers to leverage to perform tasks like adding to the PSProfile log with Write-PSProfileLog or provide argument completers with Get-PSProfileArguments.

COMMANDS

• Get-LastCommandDuration Gets the duration last command as a timestamp string for use in prompts.

• Get-PathAlias Gets the shortened Path Alias for use in prompts.

• Get-PSProfileArguments Gets argument completers from PSProfile, e.g. the list of prompt names for prompt management functions.

• Get-PSVersion Gets the PSVersion as an easy to read string, including the ability to specify the number of decimal places to limit the resulting version string to.

• Test-IfGit Tests if the current path is a Git repo folder and returns contextual information about it if so. Useful for prompts.

• Write-PSProfileLog Writes a PSProfileEvent to the $PSProfile.Log. Useful for custom plugins so that logging remains lightweight and centralized.
