Help: Finding a Command: Get-Command, Reading Help: Get-Help.

Updated: November 10, 2026

1. [Finding a Command: Get-Command](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/powershell-get-command) (Apprentice): Get-Command searches every command PowerShell knows, by its exact name, by its verb or noun, or by part of a name with the \* wildcard, and shows what kind of command each one is and which module it comes from, without running it.
2. [Reading Help: Get-Help](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/powershell-get-help) (Apprentice): Get-Help shows a command's help page once Update-Help has downloaded it, and its examples, its syntax lines and the about\_ topics let you work out a command you've never seen before you run it.
