There are some rules regarding which functions can be used in in Chocolatey packages hosted on the community repository. Basically, any function not available in PowerShell v2.0 can not be used (without a fallback helper). In this gist I want to keep a list of functions that were not available in PowerShell 2.0, or I have found that did not work as expected.

• Convert-FromJson - while it is a common function nowadays, this was only added in PowerShell 3.0 and can not be used in a community package.
• Get-ItemPropertyValue - added in PowerShell 5.0, and do not exist on the Chocolatey verifier.
• Import-Certificate - Only available on some Server platforms (and Windows 10). As an alternative the linked fallback helper can be used instead

What can you do as a maintainer?

The goal of this gist is to provide some details on what you can do and can't do on chocolatey.org when you are a maintainer.

• You can not remove yourself as a maintainer for packages available on chocolatey.org. You will need to contact the site admins to be removed from a package. You will not be removed as a maintainer if you are the only maintainer listed.
• When a new package have been pushed to chocolatey.org, a new version of the same package can not be pushed until the existing version is either approved or rejected. If the package is failing, the recommended solution is to update the existing version which fixes the failure reason. When this isn't possible, you can rejected a failing version yourself, or ask a Moderator to rejected it.

Pimping Up Your PowerShell & Cmder with Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, & Powerline Fonts

Backstory (TLDR)

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.

For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.

Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.
