Making your code reusable

In this section, we will explore the concept of making your code reusable in PowerShell. Reusability is an important aspect of coding that allows you to create a function, cmdlet, or module once and use it multiple times without having to rewrite the same code again and again. Through this, you can save time and effort in the long run.

We will start by discussing cmdlets, followed by functions and aliases, and finally, we will explore PowerShell modules, which are collections of PowerShell commands and functions that can be easily shared and installed on other systems, which is a great way to package and distribute your reusable code.

Cmdlets

A cmdlet (pronounced as commandlet) is a type of PowerShell command that performs a specific task and can be written in C# or in another .NET language. This includes advanced functions, which are also considered cmdlets but have more advanced features than regular functions.
