# ![logo][] PowerShell
Welcome to the PowerShell GitHub Community!
PowerShell is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation and configuration tool/framework
that works well with your existing tools and is optimized for dealing with structured data
(e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models. It includes a command-line shell, an
associated scripting language and a framework for processing cmdlets.

## Downloading the Source Code
The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules.
To make things easy, you can just clone recursively:
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git
```
If you already cloned but forgot to use `--recursive`, you can update submodules manually:
```sh
git submodule update --init
```
See [working with the PowerShell repository](docs/git) for more information.
