Guides

These guides explain each PSScriptBuilder feature in depth. They assume you already have a working build — if you are new, start with the Quick Start. The guides are grouped into three areas that follow the natural workflow: building a script, analyzing its structure, and publishing a release.

Building

Configure, collect, and assemble — these guides cover each step of the build pipeline in order.

  • Configuration

    Centralizes build and release settings in a single JSON file. Covers path resolution and project root discovery.

    Configuration

  • Collectors

    Scan source files and extract classes, functions, enums, using statements, and raw file content.

    Collectors

  • Templates

    Define the output script structure with placeholders — Free, Hybrid, and Ordered mode.

    Templates

  • Build

    Run the full pipeline, interpret the result, configure backups, and post-process the output.

    Build

Analysis

Inspect what PSScriptBuilder collects and resolves — without producing any output.

  • Dependency Analysis

    Build a dependency graph, detect cycles, and determine the correct component load order.

    Dependency Analysis

  • Code Analysis

    Inspect your project's structure and collector content without running a build.

    Code Analysis

Publishing

Manage versions, propagate metadata, and automate the full workflow in CI/CD.

  • Release Management

    Track and propagate version numbers, build metadata, and Git context across all registered project files.

    Release Management

  • CI/CD Integration

    Integrate PSScriptBuilder into any CI/CD system with a GitHub Actions example.
