Practical Example – Collaborative Scripting with PowerShell
Many times it is like this: You have organized your script collection on your computer properly, your colleagues as well.
Unfortunately, however, everyone in a different way. Or you have saved the scripts centrally on a network drive.
But quickly everyone starts to create their own versions of the scripts.
The number of files with names like v1, v2, draft1 and final1 to n continues to grow. You can easily lose track of which version is the right one. Everyone keeps developing on an existing version.
How can you ensure the quality of the scripts even though there is no traceability for changes? You are looking for a central solution for the development of scripts in a team.
Our ISE App is suitable for beginners and smaller development teams.
Administrators and DevOps want to organize the development of scripts in a team in order to eliminate the resulting proliferation and to use a common platform. You have the following specific requirements:
ScriptRunner includes extensive functions for centralized script management and the possibility of integration with a professional source control system. The included app for PowerShell ISE is suitable for smaller teams and includes direct access to the script repository in ScriptRunner as well as check-out, check-in and version history. Integration with Git, TFS or SVN provides you with additional functions for development, testing and organization.
Using ScriptRunner’s team functions simplifies the joint development of PowerShell scripts, central storage and administration, as well as traceability.
