### Developer Powershell for Visual Studio 2019

Assuming that you've installed [Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/):

```json
{
"name": "Developer Powershell for VS 2019",
"commandline": "powershell.exe -noe -c \"&{Import-Module \"\"\"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Enterprise/Common7/Tools/Microsoft.VisualStudio.DevShell.dll\"\"\"; Enter-VsDevShell 994a9d58}\""
}
```

An easy way to figure out the `commandline` to use for your Visual Studio instance is:
1. Find the shortcut to `Developer Powershell for VS 2019` in the start menu
2. Right-click and select `Open File Location`
3. Right-click and select `Properties` on the shortcut
4. Inspect the `Target` field. It will be some value like `C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noe -c "&{Import-Module """C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.DevShell.dll"""; Enter-VsDevShell 994a9d58}"`
5. Use `Target` field value to update the file path for `Import-Module` in the profile `commandline`
6. Use `Target` field value to update the unique instance ID used with the `Enter-VsDevShell` command in the profile `commandline`
