PowerShell or Microsoft PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management program from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and the associated scripting language.

From 2006 to 2016, PowerShell was only available on Windows, named Windows PowerShell up to version 5.1. PowerShell was built on top of the .NET Framework, which was only available in Windows. In 2016, Microsoft decided to make a bold move and open-source PowerShell on GitHub, where it dropped the ‘Windows’ and went to just ‘PowerShell’ in version six.

Since then, PowerShell has been available not just on Windows but on macOS, Linux, and other *nix operating systems where it uses .NET Core.
