Question: Can I tell `meta exec` to run commands using Powershell insetad of CMD?

🤓 Question

I'm using meta on Windows 10 in PowerShell 7.1.3. When I run meta exec "<some command>", meta seems to use cmd instead of Powershell to run the command.

Example:

• meta exec "dir" works fine
• meta exec "Get-ChildItem" returns an error "'Get-ChildItem' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

Of course I can run Powershell commands like this: meta exec "pwsh -c Get-ChildItem". But I'd like to be able to just pass in a Powershell command to meta exec.

Is there a way to change the default shell meta exec uses to run the commands?

Not currently, but looks very doable - PRs welcome - would go in here as an option passed to the call: https://github.com/mateodelnorte/meta-exec/blob/master/index.js
