Welcome to the dbatools wiki!

Here, we'll help you understand how to contribute to the project, and talk about fun stuff like styles and guidelines.

So first, contributing. We have a detailed CONTRIBUTING.md that you should read. It will answer your questions. But if you're looking for a shortcut, here are the basics.

  • We are inclusive and want you to contribute.
  • We can help you figure this stuff out
  • You can contribute in a number of different ways that don't require you to know PowerShell
  • If you have an idea for a new command, it must be approved first to ensure it aligns with the spirit of the toolset
  • Some commands may be more appropriate for Microsoft's official SQL Server module.
  • We encourage you to participate in the design of Microsoft's official module as well!
