Welcome to the PowerShell-Docs repository, housing the official Windows PowerShell documentation.

Each folder in this repo publishes to MSDN. The folders correspond to the following PowerShell assets:

• /dsc/ is for the Desired State Configuration feature
• /gallery/ is for the PowerShell Gallery
• /jea/ is for the Just Enough Administration feature
• /reference/ is for PowerShell module reference across versions 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0
  • This content will be retrieved by the Get-Help cmdlet in the future
• /scripting/ is general PowerShell reference content
• /wmf contains release notes for the Windows Management Framework, the package used to distribute new versions of PowerShell to previous versions of Windows.
