PowerShell Preworkout (PSPreworkout) Extension Pack

PSPreworkout is a pack of Visual Studio Code extensions to optimize your environment while working on PowerShell projects and documentation.

This pack of extensions contains many essential tools for working on PowerShell modules and scripts. My workflow involves managing all code on GitHub and creating documentation in Markdown. As a result, I consider GitHub and Markdown-related extensions to be key components of this pack. However, if you prefer, you can still selectively install only the extensions that you want to use.

Note: To support the use of cross-platform environments, this extension pack does not contain any OS-specific extensions (e.g.: WSL).

Note: All credit and much gratitude goes out to the awesome community members that have freely made these extensions available. 💛 I have not created any of them myself.
