How to Format Directory Listings in PowerShell Like a Pro!

In this video, the presenter explains how to format directory listings in PowerShell. Unlike the Command Prompt, where the `dir` command is used, PowerShell does not have a direct `dir` command; instead, it uses `Get-ChildItem`, which `dir` is an alias for. The presenter demonstrates how to view all available aliases in PowerShell and shows how `dir` can be used to list files and directories. To filter the output to show only text files, the presenter uses `Get-ChildItem` with a specific file type filter. The output reveals various properties of the files, such as name, length, creation time, last write time, and last access time, some of which are not displayed by default. The presenter then explains how to format this output using a table format to display only the desired properties, providing a practical demonstration of the commands.
