title: Visual Studio 2012 PowerShell project
body: <p>We are using PowerShell for provisioning/configuration/patching of virtual machines on the Windows Azure platform. Are there any project templates available to manage PowerShell projects in Visual Studio 2012 through which I can manage these scripts?</p>
  
  <p>I would like to be able to create </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>PowerShell project with-in VS 2012 and add script files to it</li>
  <li>Have basic syntax-coloring and highlighting (good to have intellisense).</li>
  <li>Manage scripts using source control</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have found this visual studio extension <a href="http://powerguivsx.codeplex.com/">PowerGUI VSX</a> but it works only for VS 2010.</p>
