Description

A repository of my tools and scripts. This is where I will be storing my PowerShell scripts that I have created in my own free time, and make available for use (please feel free to refer to the license)

Quick listing of my scripts

The actual scripts can be found in the folder ‘.\Scripts’

• Set-Unblock.ps1 - a PowerShell script to automatically unblock downloaded files from your intranet/internet.
• Backup-EverNoteDatabase.ps1 - a PowerShell script that allows you to make a backup of your EverNote database, and starts your cloud-storage provider (such as DropBox, OwnCloud, Box.net etc.) after having created the EverNote backup. It can be run via the Task Scheduler to make regular and automatic backups.
• Get-ARMAFileContent.PS1 - a PowerShell script that traverses the folder and subfolders for all ARMA ItemList files and extracts the class, quality, and price information into a CSV-file. This script is still in progress/being worked on.

Settings, extensions I use(d) and recommend

Settings, extensions, and other tidbits I highly recommend:

• Visual Studio Code
  • Icons: Material Icon theme
  • Theme: Monokai
  • Font: Fira Code font (including the recommended setting to enable font ligatures)
  • Extensions
    • CodeRunner
    • DevSkim
    • Excel Viewer
    • Git History (git log)
    • Git Indicators
    • gitignore
    • HTML Snippets
    • Markdown Preview Github Styling
    • markdownlint
    • Markdown All in One
    • mssql
    • Output Colorizer
    • PowerShell
    • Start any shell
    • Terminal Tabs
    • TODO Highlight
    • Visual Studio Code Format
    • XML Tools
• Pester
• ScriptAnalyzer

I have created a generic Pester file, called Generic.Tests.ps1 - which will run a few checks and test on all the PS1 (PowerShell scripts) and PSM1 (PowerShell Modules) files, namely:

• Inclusion of a commentblock containing:
  • Synopsis
  • Description
  • At least one Example
• Complete check of ScriptAnalyzer
  • Errors
  • Warnings
  • Informational

All checks for ScriptAnalyzer should return ‘0’; anything higher I’ll consider a failed test. All checks for the commentblock should of course be at least 1 or higher (in the case of ‘Example’)

Why the name majoraap

I had a website for several years with that name. It was where I started with a few posts on this very topic (scripts); I figured that a proper way to distribute them - and make them available to everyone - was to use Github. The website has since been taken offline, yet I continue to work on my scripts here.
