This PowerShell module will help you to easily instal PowerShell modules directly from Azure DevOps (aka VSTS) or GitHub or any other git repository. All you need to know is a URL of the git repository and the module will take care of everything else.

The module is compatible both with Linux and Windows versions of PowerShell (Windows PowerShell 5 or PowerShell Core 6).

❗ Git client must be installed and available on path. If you don't have it, you can get it for example from git-scm.com. You can check if you have it by running Get-Command git in your PowerShell.
