Set all the default Windows PowerShell aliases, in a powerful, flexible, way.

Reset-Alias.ps1

<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Resets all the default PowerShell 5 aliases.
.NOTES
    This script must be run by dot-sourcing if you want it to clear the defaul aliases.

    It can take quite a while when it's validating all of the commands (a minute and a half, on my system), so it is by far fastest to run it in -Force
.EXAMPLE
    Reset-Alias.ps1 -Force -Quiet

    Running the script with -Force will set all aliases, regardless of the availability of the commands.
    Adding the -Quiet parameter hides the progress output and makes the command run as fast as possible.
.EXAMPLE
    . Reset-Alias.ps1

    Running the script with no parameters will remove and re-create all aliases, warning about commands that are missing and about aliases that obscure existing commands
.EXAMPLE
    . Reset-Alias.ps1 -IgnoreMissing

    Cleans and resets all aliases, warning only about native commands that are hidden by aliases
.EXAMPLE
    . Reset-Alias.ps1 -NoSquash -IgnoreMissing

    Cleans and resets all aliases, avoiding aliases that will obscure commands, and warning about native commands that are hidden by aliases
