PhonoxPSHelpers

This powershell module was created to make life easier. For instance 'PersistentData' which is the main feature makes it easier to save and restore variables to/from file. None of these features are written for performance. So this should NOT replace a DB or anything similar! The old version of PersistentData might have been faster but i like this better for now.

With the PersistentData feature, other functions will become better.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE THIS

  • Having problem to remember IP adresses that repeateadly comes back every now and again?
  • Keep forgetting when you got to work?
  • How long you worked?
  • Do you use CLI daily? and bad at keeping track of time? or when you last time you used the terminal/powershell if you have multiple of them?
  • You have multiple of instances of powershell and keep picking the instance which did not have a specific variable?
  • Just came up with an backlog item and just need to type it down before putting it elsewhere? Set-Persistent Backlog -add "more stuff"
  • Keep using same values on other functions? (can be fixed by creating new function(wrapper) that use these variables as default values)
  • You wanted to set variable in the profile but never got there?

Tests

There's just a few of them right now.. when i have time, I'll do some more

Updates

There will not be frequent updates from me, unless it is critical one.

Features/Functions

  • ListGame.ps1 / Get-GameSize uses Get-ChildItemSize and a variable from PersistentData, which have the paths to all my games and print out Name, size and total size of all games on each disk.
