PowerShell Updateable Help Frustration

Read Original

The article details the author's frustrating experience setting up Updateable Help for a PowerShell module (BurntToast). It covers technical hurdles like URI formatting, hosting requirements on GitHub vs. web servers, and lessons learned about HelpInfoURI and HelpContentURI configurations. The goal was to serve help content from GitHub but ultimately required a local IIS server.
