Ribbon buttons let you open the shell, the ISE, or SAPIEN’s PrimalScript or PowerShell Studio products. I don’t have PrimalScript installed on this test machine, but files opened in the ISE just fine. You can open files for editing right there. I’ve got my modules in one spot, some sample scripts in another, stuff I’m playing with in a third, and so on – so the tabbed approach fits my organizational style. I find that I like that approach a lot – I tend to organize my scripts that way. It includes a tab for each folder where you store scripts. That seems to let the software capture a snapshot of any changed files at that time every day it was clear that you could also manually submit an update to the repository using VersionRecall or Windows’ own File Explorer.įrom there, you’re in an Explorer-like view. I selected an option to have my version control repository updated every day at 4:30pm. That’s a subtle and very cool feature – and it’s a way to make AllSigned a more convenient execution policy. You can also pick a certificate, to have the software automatically sign scripts each time you make a new version. You then indicate where you’d like your version-control repository – this is where old versions of files will be saved. It found my DSC scripts, my PowerShell modules, and several other places I’d dropped scripts. You can skip that bit, but it only took a few moments on my virtual machine. When you first launch the product, it attempts to find all the places on your computer where you might store scripts, so that it can connect those to a version-control repository. Setup is quick – a 3-screen wizard and you’re done. VersionRecall is advertised as a simple, single-user version control system “for the rest of us.” There are no servers, no databases, and nothing complex, according to the marketing copy.
As a note, SAPIEN provided me with a license key to use. I recently played around with SAPIEN’s VersionRecall, and thought I’d share a bit about the experience.
