Build Private PowerShell Gallery

Hello,

A few months ago, Microsoft released the PowerShell Gallery, this a website that you can use with “PowerShellGet” (OneGet) PowerShell module to download modules published and shared by the community :

Find-Module IseSteroids | Install-Module

This is great, the greater part of it it’s that Microsoft will allow us to host the same thing in our private Datacenter. They published the sources on GitHub :
