![logo][] PowerShell ==================== Welcome to the PowerShell GitHub Community! PowerShell is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation and configuration tool/framework that works well with your existing tools and is optimized for dealing with structured data (e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models. It includes a command-line shell, an associated scripting language and a framework for processing cmdlets.

To make things easy, you can just clone recursively: ```sh git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git ``` If you already cloned but forgot to use `--recursive`, you can update submodules manually: ```sh git submodule update --init ``` See [working with the PowerShell repository](docs/git) for more information.
