OP here wrote this the most verbose way I could think possible. Most commands are pre-aliased in PowerShell and arguments are fuzzy matched as long as they're not ambiguous. For example: Remove-Item $directory -Recurse -Force rm $directory -r -fo For this specific example ConvertFrom-Yaml actually doesn't exist as a standard cmdlet and ConvertTo-Json isn't aliased by default: gc ./something.yml | ConvertFrom-Yaml | ConvertTo-Json > /some/file.json
