• FeiFlow - An Opinioned Git Branching And Release Management Strategy

  Addressing these concerns requires safeguards and automation. Our "in-house" solution is based on powershell for git scripting and logic and ADO tools set for git repo hosting, tracking, planning, linking, building, execution, and querying purposes. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

• If you have no experience, learn Powershell (or Python)

  The official PowerShell documentation (specifically, the PowerShell 101 and About topics) is a great place to start. Source: 3 months ago

• Best resource to learn PowerShell?

  Really sorry about that this was the link I embedded https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/. Source: 9 months ago

• Feeling pretty down/demoralized. Any suggestions on easy wins for my team?

  - Pick something unique to your team that’s an irritant and find a way to automate it. We used Powershell to do this ourselves, but I know people also use BASH. Source: 12 months ago

• Unexpected behaviour when processing large file with StreamReader

  Uh, what? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/ is not official to you? Source: about 1 year ago

RoboCopy mentions (50)

• Is ultracopier still the very best in terms of open source alternative file copying/merging tool ?

  I used robocopy on a slow network to transfer many gigabyte of data; properly configured with retries and everything worked great. Don't know about your merge needs, so take a look into it and do some tests before actually running it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is copying the best way to transfer large amounts of files?

  If you're copying a ton of files that vary in size, using a command prompt robocopy with the multi-thread parameter can make it so you are copying multiple files simultaneously and max out the bandwidth of whatever connection you're using (usb, SATA, ethernet, etc). Source: over 1 year ago

• Game data to new PC

  This would probably work well. Oblivion mod managers edit load order by modifying dates on the files, and I'm not sure if dragging-and-dropping would keep that info. Source: over 1 year ago

• Migrating file servers - Robocopy syntax question

  Yes, /mir also deletes files and directories that have been deleted from the source. Here's a list of the switches. Source: over 1 year ago

• Robocopy Hell - Copy data without NTFS permissions

  My friend you helped me big time. I was able to test more and the U flag on /COPY was the culprit here. Which isn't a huge deal for me so using /COPY:DAT worked great. Turns out this is the default switching for /COPY anyway according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy. Source: over 1 year ago
