4By the way, you could shorten that to %~dp0 – Nathan Hartley Nov 12 '10 at 16:54

For PowerShell 3.0 users - following works for both modules and script files:
function Get-ScriptDirectory {
Split-Path -parent $PSCommandPath
}

From Get-ScriptDirectory to the Rescue blog entry ...
function Get-ScriptDirectory
{
$Invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation -Scope 1).Value
Split-Path $Invocation.MyCommand.Path
}

@alex [`$MyInvocation`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_automatic_variables?view=powershell-7#myinvocation) is an automatic variable created by PowerShell. From the docs (linked): `Contains information about the current command, such as the name, parameters, parameter values, and information about how the command was started, called, or invoked, such as the name of the script that called the current command.` – Dan Atkinson Jul 17 '20 at 10:22
