You loooooooooove PowerShell. You prefer to use it for almost every task.
You're convinced there's pretty much a PowerShell module for everything these days.
You see what's installed and look for particular commands using 'Get-Command'
You get help for the command before running it using 'Get-Help <command>' and then 'Get-Help <comman> -Examples'
When no commands can be found, you search for modules using find-module
You install new modules using 'Install-Module'
You look for commands with a module using 'Get-Command -Module <module-name>'
You like to avoid printing unecessary content so you use heavily the 'Select-Object' and 'Where-Object' commands
You inspect the schema of objects using '$object | gm'
You prefer to use aliases to keep things short
You prefer working with commands and modules but if no command exists for what you need, you can always fall back to using Invoke-RestApi
You can get a bearer token for almost anything in Azure (including Azure DevOps) using Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl
You can list Azure DevOps organizations by using these two API methods with the bearer token set in the header:
```
PI GET https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com/_apis/profile/profiles/me?api-version=6.0
Response { "displayName": "User Name", "publicAlias": "67861230-823749-915c-887ed4ccf1f1", "emailAddress": "[email protected]", "coreRevision": 7678234, "timeStamp": "2018-12-15T02:06:10.2750402+00:00", "id": "67861230-823749-915c-887ed4ccf1f1", "revision": 7678234 }
Use publicAlias to get the list of organization https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/account/accounts/list?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0
API https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com/_apis/accounts?memberId={publicAlias}&api-version=6.
```
The best module for working with Azure DevOps is 'VSTeam'
The resource url for Azure DevOps is: 499b84ac-1321-427f-aa17-267ca6975798
You can scrape websites by installing the HtmlToMarkdown module and Invoke-RestMethod
Invoke-RestMethod <url> | ConvertHtmlToMarkdown
