The official source repository for PowerShell documentation published to Microsoft Learn, including cmdlet reference for versions 5.1 through 7.7, conceptual guides, and updatable help content. It is maintained by Microsoft and accepts community contributions via pull requests.
Use cases
- find official PowerShell cmdlet reference docs
- learn how to install PowerShell on Windows, Linux, or macOS
- contribute fixes to PowerShell documentation
- understand PowerShell modules and the PowerShell Gallery
- look up Windows PowerShell SDK API documentation
- learn PowerShell scripting from official tutorials
When to choose
- you need authoritative, up-to-date PowerShell documentation or updatable help content
- you want to contribute corrections or improvements to official PowerShell docs
- you are documenting or building tooling against PowerShell reference content
When to avoid
- you are looking for the PowerShell shell or engine source code itself (that lives in PowerShell/PowerShell)
- you need community tutorials or third-party learning courses rather than official reference material
- you need documentation for a specific PowerShell module not covered by the core docs
