====== PowerShell Core: Creating PowerShell profile with Tux ======

{{en:tux.png |Hey, my name is "Tux"!}} **Did you ever wonder how you can customize most everything within your local user specific //PowerShell Core// installation?**
\\ \\
Hey, my name is "Tux" and this tutorial will show you how you can create your own user specific //PowerShell// profile so you can get much more flexible and personalized. 
\\
\\
----

\\

===== First thoughts =====

It is assumed that you have already set up the according //PowerShell// installation on your Linux system.
Please refer to [[vmwarevsphereraspipi|this]] Tutorial if you need an example on how to set it up.

\\

===== Start of tutorial =====

Start a new PowerShell session:
<cli>$ pwsh</cli>
Now you want to get the default path for your user specific PowerShell profile by executing the following command (Note: The output does not mean necessarily mean that there is already an existing //PowerShell// profile for your specific user account, it just does show where the profile is expected to be): 
<cli>$profile</cli>
Now you can test if there is already an existing profile connected to the ''$profile'' variable:
<cli>Test-Path $profile</cli>
If the output value is ''false'' there is no existing //PowerShell// profile yet for your specific user.
\\
\\ In this case want to create your own specific //PowerShell// user profile:
<cli>New-Item -path $profile -type file -force</cli>
\\
From now on you will find a folder inside your user specific home directory called ''~/.config/powershell'' where you can configure customized and user specific //PowerShell// functions, aliases, environmental variables and many more options.
\\
To do so just edit the profile:
<cli>$ nano $profile</cli>
Here you can customize your PowerShell user profile as you want.
\\
\\
<box 97% | Example //PowerShell// function>
Example content for a //PowerShell// function called ''quit'' which deletes the whole user specific //PowerShell// command line history:
<code>
Function quit {
    Remove-Item (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath
}
</code>
</box>
When you are finished save the file and quit the editor.
\\
\\
<box 97% | Note> After any customizations to the user specific //PowerShell// user profile it is necessary to start a new //PowerShell// session before you can use your currently configured new //PowerShell// options.
</box>
