This project is aimed to create set of simple PowerShell cmdlets in C# that would assist developers in writing PowerShell modules.
Planned list of commands is:
New-STBasicFunction- creates simple PowerShell functionNew-STAdvancedFunction- create PS function with begin, process and end blocksNew-STTestCase- creates a Pester test case
Ultimately, all of this will be followed by New-STModule and maybe more (pipelines, documentation, etc.)
