Script and Module File Format

These instructions define required file-level formatting for PowerShell scripts and module files in this repository.

Copyright Header

If a change adds a new .ps1 file or .psm1 file or touches an existing one, the file should start with the copyright and license header and have an empty line after it, as shown in the example below:

# Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
# Licensed under the MIT License.

Do not place blank lines, comments, or code before this header.

Requirements

• Add the copyright header when creating a new .ps1 or .psm1 file.
• Preserve the header when editing an existing .ps1 or .psm1 file.
• If an existing .ps1 or .psm1 file is missing the header, only modify that file to add the header if a change touches that file. Do not make a change to add the header if the file is not being modified.
