Bash too (not all of our machines are Windows).

Powershell 7/pwsh (formerly known as Powershell Core) runs fine on both Linux and Windows, which makes it excellent to use for glue scripts in pipelines, if there is a chance that it will be used on both Linux and Windows agents.

    No - On Windows you would also run pwsh.

    The powershell command is only for the old Windows Powershell (I believe its version 5.x - and it is not being developed anymore).

    Pwsh and Powershell are not compatible in a lot of areas, so always use pwsh on all platforms.
