pwsh-plugins

A plugin manager for your PowerShell 7 profile, built as a companion to pwsh-terminal-setup but with no dependency on it — it works against any PowerShell 7 profile.

Each plugin is one self-contained .config file: a metadata header plus a PowerShell body. Three scripts (addconfig.ps1, removeconfig.ps1, listconfigs.ps1) handle install, removal, dependency resolution, and profile backups.

The philosophy

• A bare install adds nothing. You start from zero and add exactly what you want by name. Nothing is enabled behind your back.
• Only what you install costs you. The manager itself never runs at shell launch — it only edits your profile.
• Auditable. One file per plugin, readable and forkable, with no hidden runtime.

What install does

Validates the plugin and its header, resolves # Dependencies: on other plugins (prompting to add missing ones), checks # Requires: external tools against PATH and offers to winget install them, backs up the profile (keeping the last 5), and skips anything already installed unless you pass --force.

--whatif dry-runs any operation, --backup-list and --restore <id> handle rollback, and -ProfilePath targets a profile other than the default.
