Putting the "Pro" in PowerShell Profiles!
summary
Shows exactly how a PowerShell profile is code and a prompt is a function then builds one live: creates a profile PS1, adds aliases and a get‑get‑remote function, configures PSReadLine vi mode and colors, uses PSStyle for ANSI colors and nerd‑font separators, and wires up oh-my-posh themes (downloaded locally) with a GitHub gist–backed launch script that caches and updates the profile. Demo has troubleshooting but the gist-backed prompt works.
