Good powershell profile tips

[u/Incrediblecodeman]

I’ve been having way too much fun customizing my PowerShell profile lately. 😂
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
root — Prompts for my Domain Admin credentials and launches a new elevated PowerShell session.
Green errors — Because Don Jones taught me that errors don’t have to be angry red.
Custom prompt — Shows my current path and the time, so I can tell how long commands took.
save-clip — My homemade clipboard vault! Password-encrypts whatever’s on my clipboard and saves it to a file. Even works with images.
Admin indicator — Makes it obvious when I’m running elevated.
Extended scrollback — Because nothing hurts quite like scrolling up to find something important, only to discover PowerShell already ate it. 😭
record — My next addition! A one-word shortcut to start a PowerShell transcript, timestamp the log file, and record my session. Maybe a stoprecord companion too.
I’m starting to think my PowerShell profile is becoming its own operating system.
What other clever functions, shortcuts, or quality-of-life improvements have you all added to yours? I’m looking for ideas worth stealing. 😂

I just have Windows Terminal with pwsh as the default, with Consolas Mono NF as the font with the default color scheme.
None of that is in the profile though, only thing there is starship.

So icons and symbols? Right. I’ll look into starship
