Since a lot of people are starting to store their scripts and files in GitHub repositories, I often
get the question, how can I download a script or a file from a Git repository using PowerShell. There are a couple of ways to you can obviously do this. You could use git and do a git clone of the repository and then run the script. In many cases however you don't have git installed on the machine or it would be too much to clone the whole repo. So you can simply download the file or script from GitHub using PowerShell using the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet.

traditional Win32 applications or modern AppX packages. Since not every Win32 application can be removed without a little extra work, the module was designed to allow instructions for specific applications to be pulled from a JSON file.
