I love newer versions of #PowerShell, but I still regularly have to support #Windows PowerShell because that's the default shell for systems like #SCCM and #Intune. How can I take advantage of the new PowerShell other than executing scripts with pwsh.exe and the -File or -Command parameters?

@funbucket.dev is it possible to use PSHelp.Copilot for large modules like Az or Microsoft Graph without having to specify each of their dependent modules? I’d like to be able to ask questions that might span more than one of the smaller modules

"If you type help, PowerShell first looks for an alias named help, then a function named Help, and finally a cmdlet named Help. It runs the first help item that it finds. If your session contains a cmdlet and a function, both named Get-Map, when you type Get-Map, PowerShell runs the function."

#pwsh tip of the day! Command precedence can getcha if you aren't careful! PowerShell looks for and loads commands in this order: Alias,Function, Cmdlet, External executable files For Cmdlets, loaded modules in alphabetical order are searched and the first match ran. Happy scripting!
