PowerShell Gemini Code Block Generator

Metadata

Date of Creation: 19/07/2025 [DD/MM/YYYY]

Description

Simple script that takes code you copied to clipboard, asks you for language it is in and puts code with ANSI Sequences

Dependencies

• PowerShell Core (7+) [Tested on 7.5.2]
• Bat cli [Tested on 0.25.0]
• Gum cli [Tested on 0.14.5] (Optional, Read below how to drop it)

Not using Gum cli

You can exchange line:

$Language = (gum input --prompt "Specify language of snippet > ")

to:

$Language = (Read-Host "Specify language of snippet > ")

to drop dependency on gum entirely. I was too lazy to find Read-Host command (because I already forgot this command because I switched to nushell long time ago).

Code

#!/usr/bin/env -S pwsh -NoProfile

Write-Host "Getting clipboard content..."
$Code = (Get-Clipboard)

Write-Host "Setting snippet language..."
$Language = (gum input --prompt "Specify language of snippet > ")

$Code | bat --color always --decorations never -P -l $Language | Set-Clipboard
