resolve-path: Get relative paths.

Resolve-Path

$ Resolve-Path -Path ${path\to\file_or_directory} -Relative

try on your machine

The Resolve-Path command is used in PowerShell to convert a provided path string into a fully qualified path. It resolves any relative path components and returns the full path of the specified file or directory.

In this specific command, the following parameters are used:

-Path: Specifies the path of the file or directory you want to resolve. The ${path\to\file_or_directory} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file or directory path you want to resolve.
-Relative: This parameter is used to return the resolved path as a relative path instead of an absolute path. If this parameter is specified, the resolved path will be relative to the current directory.

By running this command, PowerShell will resolve the specified file or directory path and return the fully qualified path or a relative path depending on the -Relative parameter.
