Get-Command gets its data directly from the code of a cmdlet, function, script, or alias, unlike Get-Help, which ge
ts its information from help topic files.
Without parameters, "Get-Command" gets all of the cmdlets and functions in the current session. "Get-Command *" get

You can use the Module parameter of Get-Command to find the commands that were added to the session by adding a Win
dows PowerShell snap-in or importing a module.
