PowerShellGet

This documentation covers version 3.0.22-beta22 of the PowerShellGet module. This module is provided for compatibility with PowerShellGet v2.2.x. The cmdlets in this version of the module are proxy cmdlets that call the equivalent cmdlets in the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet module.

The proxy cmdlets provide a compatibility layer for scripts that use the version 2.x cmdlets. In most cases, the scripts continue to work without modification. However, there are some differences in behavior between the modules. Some parameters for the PowerShellGet cmdlets aren't supported by the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet cmdlets. The proxy cmdlets silently discard unsupported parameters, transform some parameters, and pass other parameters through to the equivalent cmdlets in the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet module.

For more information about the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet module, see about_PSResourceGet.
