Get-PSScriptBuilderReleaseData¶

Retrieves the current release data configuration.

Description¶

Loads psscriptbuilder.releasedata.json without modifying it — version, build metadata, and Git information. By default, returns a hierarchical object with Version, Build, and Git sections, ideal when only one section is needed. Use -Flat for a flat object instead, with every property prefixed by category (Version*, Build*, Git*) — more convenient for enumerating every property uniformly or passing all values to another function.

Both forms are OrderedDictionary objects that preserve categorical order; sort either with GetEnumerator() | Sort-Object -Property Key.

Parameters¶

Name	Type	Description
`-Flat`	switch	Return a flat, prefixed structure instead of the default hierarchical one.

Examples¶

Read one section of the hierarchical object¶

$data = Get-PSScriptBuilderReleaseData
Write-Host "Number:    $($data.Build.Number)"
Write-Host "Timestamp: $($data.Build.Timestamp)"

Output

Number:    1
Timestamp: 2026-09-14T14:18:03Z

Read the flat object¶

$flat = Get-PSScriptBuilderReleaseData -Flat
Write-Host "Version:     $($flat.VersionFull)"
Write-Host "CommitShort: $($flat.GitCommitShort)"
