What's this?

A tiny module that helps installing and deploying powershell modules in CI/CD scenarios. It is based on the new Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet (formerly known as PowerShellGet v3) and is therefore more awesome.

Why?

1. It provides Register- and Unregister-PSRepositoryV3 which allows to register a powershell gallery on-the-fly for deployment or installation.
2. It provides the compact Publish-PSModule as a one-liner to publish a package, registering & unregistering the feed automatically as required.
3. It provides Import-PsModule which allows to specify a feed when importing a module, from which the module is installed, if it isn't already. Install-PsModule and Import-PsModule both accept an -AllowPrerelease switch to install and use prerelease versions of the module.

Installation

This is meant for CI/CD scenarios. The following will download the package and import it as a module. Drop this line into your pipeline scripts and you have the cmdlets readily available.
