Exploring PowerShellGet and the PS Gallery
In a perfect world, PowerShell would come with a command that performed every single action any IT professional should ever need or want. But, as Jeffrey Snover (the inventor of PowerShell) says: "To Ship is To Choose." And that means PowerShell itself, as well as some Windows features, may not have every command you need. And that is where the PowerShell community comes in.
Ever since V1 was shipped (and probably before!), community members have been providing add-ons. Some attempts were, being kind, sub-optimal, but still better than nothing. As PowerShell and the community matured, the quality of these add-ons grew.
