Since people are curious Ill explain why:

I need to build our project from the remote repo using a PowerShell script (.ps1). I’m using Bash in the VSCode terminal, I have to run the .ps1 script in a new Command Prompt because the compilation takes around 5 minutes and I need my terminal for other things. To do this, the only way is to run a batch file that executes the .ps1 script.

Its an automation so I dont need to touch powershell whatsover and remain in bash terminal. Instead of opening several windows, I automated all so it only takes 1 alias to compile my shit.

The compilation also requires several inputs and "Key Presses", so I automated all of that in the Batch file.

OMG the naming schemes for powershell is enough for me to stay away. A +20char name for a command that shares the first 10 chars with 15 other commands, so you can't just tab through it? No thanks!

Will look into nushell though, thanks for the advice.
