To Run PowerShell Command/Script from a .gitlab-ci.yml file on a gitlab.com using the Gitlab CI, you need to make sure that the contents of your .gitlab-ci.yml file is as shown below.

  stage: deploy
  script:
  - mkdir .public
  # run PowerShell Script
  - powershell -File build.ps1
  # run PowerShell Command
  - powershell -Command "Get-Date"
  - cp -r * .public

    paths:
    - public
  only:
  - master
