Powershell GUID Generator

I've built a simple GUID generator that generates GUID and puts it into the clipboard!

You can download the file from my repository: guid.ps1

You can read more info at the Git Hub Page

Details

In PowerShell you can generate GUIDby typing [Guid]::NewGuid() into your PS terminal, but then you would need to copy it from the terminal and paste it where you need it. It was complex for me so I've built a script that does all the for you.

$guid = [guid]::NewGuid().ToString();

Set-Clipboard -Value $guid;

Write-Host 'Guid:' $guid 'copied to the clipboard!';

In use

E:\ps> guid
Guid: d5bae5bc-d0dc-47ef-bbf7-1323f7a2180e copied to the clipboard!
E:\ps>

NOTE: Just be sure to put the guid.ps1 file somewhere where your path is defined so you can access it from anywhere.
