powershell Restore Default PowerShell Gallery Repository

Restore Default PowerShell Gallery Repository

If you’ve accidentally deleted the PowerShell Gallery (PSGallery) repository from your system, you can restore it using the following command.


Register-PSRepository -Default

In fact, if you try to re-register the PowerShell Gallery using the same method that you’d register a custom repository (see below) …


$Repository = @{
Name = 'PSGallery'
SourceLocation = 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/'
PublishLocation = 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/'
ScriptSourceLocation = 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/items/psscript'
ScriptPublishLocation 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/'
InstallationPolicy = 'Untrusted'
}
Register-PSRepository @Repository

… you get the following exception in return:


Register-PSRepository : Use 'Register-PSRepository -Default' to register the PSGallery repository.
