Quick start automated PS7 and WT setup to fork and make your own for fast dev setups on new machines...

About

I put this repo together as I'm endlessly jumping machines - I have a private repo of this script which installs all the modules I use and an endless list of winget installs so I'm up and running quickly on a new machine. Please fork away and add all the winget installs and modules you might need to get up and running on new machines.

✨ Features

• Windows Terminal with custom configuration and themes
• Oh-My-Posh for a prettier prompt - with my theme wylde.omp.json
• Enhanced Modules: PSReadLine, Terminal-Icons, Z (directory jumping)
• Nerd Fonts for icon and glyph support
• Smart Completion: Bracket pairing, quote handling, argument cycling
• Predictive IntelliSense with history-based suggestions

Forking

As mentioned - this is a template script- fork away and add your own modules and winget installs. Add your functions to the script and add, for example:

    $steps = @(
        { Install-YourModule -Name 'YourModuleName' -Version '1.0.0' }
        { Install-YourCustomFunction }
    )

Add your own winget installs to the Start-WingetBatchInstall function in the script, for example:

    $packages = @(
        "Git.Git",
        "Microsoft.VisualStudioCode",
        "Microsoft.RemoteDesktopClient",
        "Google.Chrome",
        "GitHub.GitHubDesktop",
        "GitHub.cli",
        "Docker.DockerDesktop",
        "Microsoft.PowerToys",
        "Microsoft.Azure.StorageExplorer"
    )
