Boost your PowerShell functions with easy-to-add help links. Make it simple for users to access tutorials and support directly from your scripts!

This is how:

When creating PowerShell functions, theres a simple way to add a URL to any website you like. Whether you host your code publicly at GitHub, or whether you run an internal web portal in your company, you can easily have functions point to wikis, example tutorials, or support:

function Invoke-Something{ [CmdletBinding(HelpUri='https://support.scriptrunner.com/')] param() 'Get-Help Invoke-Something -Online' | Set-ClipBoard "In order to see my help, run Get-Help Invoke-Something -Online. I placed the commands into your clipboard."}

When you run this function, nothing special happens as it is just illustrating the function wrapper with no special code inside it. However, the function defined a "HelpUri", and users can now easily visit this URL in their browser by using Get?Help -Online:

  • PS C:\> Get-Help Invoke-Something -Online
PS C:\> Get-Help Invoke-Something -Online
