PowerShell DevOps

Xeno Innovations' DevOps (Development Operations) command line tool provides users a quick-set of Git command helpers and project configs to increase your productivity via PowerShell.

The Git helpers provide shortcuts for popular commands such as, gitpull, gitpush, gitcommit, so you don't have to remember switches. Also provides, gitsync, which synchronizes your current branch with develop (by default) or a branch of our choosing.

The devops command provides project configurations to ensure all projects stay aligned with the same ruleset.

Since our primary focus is on projects made with Visual Studio and VS Code, the rule sets cover a wide range of C# for Xamarin/MAUI, desktop and ASP.NET Core, as well as C/C++ (including Arduino).

This project started as an internal tool used by Xeno Innovations and Suess Labs - hence the focus on git and the default develop branch. We'll do our best to keep things generic for the open source community.

Installation

1. Download or clone the repo your local folder (i.e. C:\BuildTools\)
2. Set your Path Environment Variables to your extracted folder.
3. Close and re-open any open command prompts
4. Enjoy!
