Windows PowerShell/Command Line for Beginners (Tutorial)

Quickly learn the Basics of PowerShell, Windows' answer to Linux's Terminal.

How to Copy/Move files, create and remove Directories, navigate Windows and some key useful commands.

Edit: Linux command to reveal hidden files is ls -a NOT ls -h, usually I just use ls -lah and mixed them up in my head while recording. My bad :P

Awesome. I am new to working with computers in this way, I typed in alias and I got exactly what you got. Initially I was working with the older command prompt and getting a lot of error messages - which was frustrating. I have since downloaded a powershell emulator which is working, and following along with your tutorial. Thanks, I now have the confidence to continue.

I would highly recommend using Windows Powershell ISE. I always prefer it over than just using the terminal

ls -h now works on windows 11, also interestingly, when you press windows key + X it now called Terminal and Terminal (Admin) :)
