Look at that commands page featuring our nearly 700 commands 😍 So useful now and easy to navigate.

The screenshot shows the "dbatools Commands" page from the dbatools website, listing PowerShell commands for SQL Server. The interface includes a search bar, filterable categories on the left, and a grid of command cards in the center. Visible commands include “Copy-DbaLogin,” “Invoke-DbaQuery,” and “Restore-DbaDatabase,” each with a short description, a yellow star icon indicating popularity, and category tags like “Migration” or “Backup & Restore.” The site header includes links for Getting Started, Commands, Blog, Book, Team, GitHub, and Builds, with an “Install” button and dark mode toggle.
