A collection of powershell scripts I've been writing.
I have most of these inside a module that is loaded each time I open up a Powershell prompt.
I was tired of manually grabbing the latest Visual Studio .gitignore
file from the gitignore github repository so I wrote a script that will
grab it for me. If you run it in a directory that already contains a
.gitignore it will abort and tell you to use the -force flag to
overwrite the existing file.
Since 99% of my projects are Visual Studio projects, the script defaults to a "VisualStudio" ignore
file if you don't provide a type via the -type parameter. If you want a different ignore type, pass
it via the -type parameter:
Get-GitIgnore -type Node
Please note that the ignore type is case-sensitive! Running Get-GitIgnore -type node will fail.
Sometimes you just want an easy way to dump the current time in UTC format. It displays both the simple ToString() version of UTC as well as the ISO-8601 round-trip format.
