Path Environment Variable Quick Switcher for PowerShell

You may want to turn on and off the PATH environment variable, for example, when you use UNIX tools with MSYS2.

It's annoying like this.

» $prevPath = $Env:Path
» $Env:Path = "$Env:MSYS2\bin;$Env:MSYS2\mingw64\bin;$Env:Path"
» # do some work with MSYS2
» $Env:Path = $prevPath

Or you may want to change each version of compilers.

powershell-path-switcher supports this.

Prepare a configuration file,

# $Env:ProgramData\powershell-path-switcher\config.yaml
msys2-usr:     C:\tools\msys64\usr\bin
msys2-mingw64: C:\tools\msys64\mingw64\bin

and invoke Switch-Path.

» Switch-Path
> [ ] msys2-usr: C:\tools\msys64\usr\bin
  [ ] msys2-mingw64: C:\tools\msys64\mingw64\bin

You can move its cursor (>) up/down with ↑/↓ keys, select (check by x) with the space key and reflect with the enter key.

When you want to remove a specified path from the PATH variable, you can delete it by removing its check mark (x).
