PowerShell Module for Power Platform Dataverse
NOTE This project is in development. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome. The main branch is basically my dev branche where I play around, and try to get things to work. Changes are day to day, and it might not build or work every day. Nice to haves like documentation and error handling are not on the top of the list.

This is a "free time when I want to project", so it will take some time. The goal is to have a first stable working version at years end. When to framework for PowerShell (Types, Adapters, Converters, etc.) is done, it should be fairly quick and easy to add the different sets of Commands.
