first PS module published

Yay! I pust published my first powershell module here

The next version will be published from a github action

ai cli's

I've recently been very impressed with Claude Code,
I used to to make a bug-fix in pl/sql.

Now I see that Gemini CLI has been released and I have to dive straight in,
firstly I can run it in a powershell window directly in windows.
Claude made me figure out how to run VSCode in a dev container just so that I could have a bash shell.
I'm grateful for that experience but a bit short on RAM for extra containers ... and it makes the fan hum.


Update
Gemini Cli, seems to hit a rate limit unexpectedly quickly based on what I had been led to believe.
Lot's of :
Rate limiting detected. Automatically switching from gemini-2.5-pro to gemini-2.5-flash for faster responses for the remainder of this session.

New mini project idea - favdir

favdir is a powershell module which implementa new command.

fd foo
This changes your directory to foo, but the foo argument is a keyword for a longer directory name
e.g. C:\Users\user.name\Documents\projects\foo

fd foo C:\longdir\foo
registers or replaces a registered favdir

fd -d foo
Removes a registered favdir

The favdir registry is stored in ~.favdir

TIL git show

How did I miss this useful command for so long.
To quickly compare versions across branches without switching:

> git show dev:package.json
> git show main:package.json
