Installing PSReadLine for Predictive Intellisense
You can read all about PSReadLine here: About PSReadLine, the feature I want most is the predictive intellisense, you set your PowerShell command history as the source so that you can prioritize commands you use frequently.
I’m using PowerShell 7.2 from the Windows Store.
Install
code powershell
Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -AllowPrerelease -Force
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource History
For the functionality i wanted, these 2 lines was all it took
I will also need to add Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource History
to my profile.ps1, so that it runs every time i start PowerShell
Conclusion
For Day 16 I enabled PSReadLine, this should be a useful addition at home and work.
