The sc command, which is aliased to Set-Content in older versions of PowerShell, is no longer recognized as an alias in PowerShell 7. This causes issues when running certain katas in the repository.

Additionally, sc is commonly associated with the Service Control Manager in Windows, which can lead to further confusion when executing commands.

To ensure compatibility across different PowerShell versions and avoid ambiguity, this pull request replaces all occurrences of sc with Set-Content, ensuring the commands work consistently and correctly in both older and newer versions of PowerShell.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Enhanced guidance in user-facing instructions for executing file operations by adopting a clearer, more explicit command syntax.
    • Updated steps to ensure consistency across all file creation and modification procedures.

In older versions of PowerShell, `sc` is an alias for `Set-Content`, but this alias is not recognized in PowerShell 7.
Additionally, `sc` is commonly used for the Windows Service Control Manager, which can cause confusion.
This commit replaces all instances of `sc` with `Set-Content` to ensure compatibility across different PowerShell versions and prevent ambiguity.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates two README files to improve the clarity of PowerShell command examples. In both cases, the shorthand alias sc is replaced by the more explicit Set-Content command when creating or overwriting file content. These modifications ensure the documentation accurately reflects the intended commands without altering the behavior for appending content. No exported or public entities were changed.

Changes

File(s) Summary
basic-commits/README.md, basic-staging/README.md Replaced shorthand sc with explicit Set-Content in PowerShell examples for file creation and overwriting across steps.

Poem

Hop, I'm a rabbit coding in the glen,
Skipping through docs with a joyful yen,
sc gave way to Set-Content today,
Clearer commands now lead the way,
In CodeRabbit's garden, our updates bloom and play.

39-40: Replace alias with explicit cmdlet for PowerShell compatibility.

The updated examples on lines 39 and 40 now use Set-Content instead of the ambiguous alias sc. This change resolves the incompatibility issues in PowerShell 7 and avoids potential conflicts with the Service Control Manager. The modifications align perfectly with the PR objectives and improve clarity in command usage.

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
