I saw this question in a twitter thread. And a good one it is too. My immediate reaction was: Get-Module, Get-Command, Get-Help, and Get-Member. But those are my most valuable. So what were my most USED? Turns out there’s a script for that:
PS [C:\foo> ]> Get-MostUsedCommands
Count Name
----- ----
1442 git
832 cd
578 ls
353 f
243 cc
I have uploaded this script to the Spiceworks script library at https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/4644-get-the-most-used-powershell-commands - Feel free to download that code and play with it!
But if you are impatient and want the code, here it is:
Function Get-MostUsedCommands {
<#
.Synopsis
Gets most used PowerShell commands
.DESCRIPTION
Uses the parser and command history to construct a list of the
most used commands and returns a sorted list. The -TOP parameter
tells how many results to return.
Based on a tweet by @stevenjudd
.EXAMPLE
PS [C:\foo> ]> Get-MostUsedCommands
Count Name
----- ----
1442 git
832 cd
578 ls
353 f

Very good idea!
Unfortunately I use ISE 95% of the time and natively there is not PSReadline history for this console.
