Powershell goodies:

Powershell (newer or older) add a profile file (like linux's .bash_profile)

• open powershell(or pwsh) as administrator
• check if file exists with this command:Test-Path $profile or try to directly open it with this one: notepad $PROFILE
• if error occurs run this command to add one New-Item -ItemType File -Path $profile -Force
• open the profile file:notepad $PROFILE

Define an alias q as quit:

• open powershell(or pwsh) as admin and the profile file: notepad $PROFILE
• add this to the bottom:

function QuitReplacement{
Invoke-command -ScriptBlock {exit}
}

New-Alias -Name q -Value QuitReplacement

JDK change:

$env:J17DIR = "C:\Users\kambaa\.jdks\corretto-17.0.12"
function j17 {
    $env:Path = "$env:J17DIR\bin;$env:Path"
    $env:JAVA_HOME = $env:J17DIR
    java --version
}
