+# Development Modules for Version 2.0.0
+
+Inspired by the blog post: [Set up a local PowerShell module repository: no server needed](https://blog.devolutions.net/2021/03/local-powershell-module-repository-no-server-required), I have begun considering improvements to the `LocalModules` implementation.
+
+The new approach leverages a local PowerShell repository and aims to minimize its impact on developers. It introduces a single cmdlet while utilizing existing cmdlets for module management.
+
+## The New Single Function: `Install-DevMod`
+
+This cmdlet performs the following steps:
+
+1. Sets up a local repository named **Development** (if it is not already configured).
+2. Publishes the module to the **Development** repository.
+3. Installs the module from the **Development** repository.
+4. Restarts the shell using `Exit 1`.
+
+Additionally, the cmdlet:
+- Deletes the previously published module before publishing the new version.
+- Uninstalls the currently installed module before installing the updated version.
+
+### Example Usage
+```powershell
+Install-DevMod -Path <Path/to/modulefolder>
+```
+
+### Key Considerations
+
+- **Conflict Warning:**  
+  If a module (e.g., `DumbMod`) exists in both the **PSGallery** and the **Development** repository, running the command below:
+  ```powershell
+  Install-Module -Name DumbMod
+  ```
+  will produce a warning indicating that the module is available in multiple repositories.  
+  To specify the source, use:
+  ```powershell
+  Install-Module -Name DumbMod -Repository PSGallery
+  ```
+
+- **Behavior of `Install-Module`:**  
+  If the module is already installed, no matter which repository it comes from, no additional installation occurs, and no messages are displayed.
+
+### Managing Installed Modules
+
+To view installed modules and their sources, use:
+```powershell
+Get-InstalledModule
+```
+
+To uninstall a module:
+```powershell
+Uninstall-Module -Name DumbMod
+```
+
+### Summary
+The developer does not need to manage the **Development** repository directly, as the process is automated and integrated into existing workflows.
+
+---
+
+### Additional Suggestions
+
+1. Configure the **Development** repository to a roaming folder for portability.
+2. Retrieve modules published in the **Development** repository with:
+   ```powershell
+   Get-InstalledModule | Where-Object { $_.Repository -eq 'Development' }
+   ```
