How can I bulk rename files using PowerShell?

Question

I\'m trying to recursively rename a bunch of TFS folders using tf rename, PowerShell and a regular expression but I\'m having some issues with PowerShell as I haven

Answer 1

Running the above commands requires the tf.exe to have been aliased as 'tf'.. or it did on my machine at least.

Run this command:

Set-Alias tf "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\tf.exe"

Update the path to tf.exe as appropriate

Also consider adding the line to your profile for future use

notepad $PROFILE
