PowerShell module toolbox and templates for Continuous Delivery
summary
Scaffolding and CI that actually deliver: a single build script bootstraps dependencies with PSDepend dependency resolution, merges scattered source files into one fast-loading artifact with ModuleBuilder merges sources into one psm1, runs Pester tests run on Windows Mac Linux and PSScriptAnalyzer linting, enforces a committed changelog entry before release, and uses GitVersion automated versioning to calculate releases. Output includes docs, help, required modules and a publish step to PowerShell Gallery; adopted by ~50 DSC modules and ~20–30 enterprises in the speaker’s experience and the demo publishes successfully (gallery speed varies).
