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.

I appreciate the feedback. For the Linux side it's for personal projects and learning opportunities so starting with something familiar and growing from there is my goal.

I dabble in C and C++ so cli isn't out of the question for me. But .NET is my comfort zone, and I like the rapid tooling that PS offers.

I have multiple reasons to dig into Python so really I just need to get on with it.
