I populate this as I come across things I find useful - I work with Powershell (just type in powershell in the windows start menu and it’ll pop up). A good place to visit for a proper “how to course” for working with the command line can be found here.

##Make new files/directories:

New-Item c:\scripts\Windows PowerShell -type directory

New-Item c:\scripts\new_file.txt -type file

If the item you are trying to create already exists you’ll get back an error message similar to this:

New-Item : The file 'C:\scripts\new_file.txt' already exists.

However, you can override the default behavior by including the -force parameter:

New-Item c:\scripts\new_file.txt -type file -force

New-Item c:\scripts\new_file.txt -type file -force -value "This is text added to the file"

##Remove file/folder:

rm folder (will call up options if files are within)

rm file

##Directory management:

See all files in all folders and subfolders in dir:

Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -recurse

See all folders and subfolders in dir:

Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -recurse | where psiscontainer

See all folders in dir:

Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Directory

Search for file in dir recursively:

ls *.sh -recurse
