We're back once more to continue building a Crescendo module around the GitHub command line tool
gh.exe. You've seen how I approach building a PowerShell and the questions and decisions that come up. Now that I've built a few more Crescendo commands, I realize I can begin copying and pasting.

PowerShell SDK, some inconsistencies await unwary developers. The SDK doesn't like $Null, doesn't support pipelining, insists on specific property casing at times, sometimes accepts user principal names and sometimes doesn't, and sticks valuable data in hash tables hiding in a property you might know nothing about. Good as it is to have the SDK cmdlets, they need to be treated with care as you transition from the old Azure AD and MSOL modules.
