ExtendFunction

Apteco PS Modules - PowerShell functions extension

This module can be used to extend existing functions/cmdlets with more scripting and possibly additional parameters like

function Invoke-CoreWebRequest {
    
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$AdditionalString
    )
    DynamicParam { Get-BaseParameters "Invoke-WebRequest" }

    Process {
        Write-Host $AdditionalString
        $updatedParameters = Skip-UnallowedBaseParameters -Base "Invoke-WebRequest" -Parameters $PSBoundParameters
        Invoke-WebRequest @updatedParameters
    }

}

If your machine does not have an online connection you can use another machine to save the script from PSGallery website as a local file via your browser. You should have download a file with an .nupkg extension. Please don't forget to download all dependencies, too. You could simply unzip the file(s) and put the script somewhere you need it OR do it in an updatable manner and create a local repository if you don't have it already with

Set-Location "$( $env:USERPROFILE )\Downloads"
New-Item -Name "PSRepo" -ItemType Directory
Register-PSRepository -Name "LocalRepo" -SourceLocation "$( $env:USERPROFILE )\Downloads\PSRepo"
Get-PSRepository

Then put your downloaded .nupkg file into the new created PSRepo folder and you should see the module via

Find-Module -Repository LocalRepo

Then install the script like

Find-Module -Repository LocalRepo -Name ExtendFunction -IncludeDependencies | Install-Module -Scope CurrentUser -Verbose

That way you can exchange the .nupkg files and update them manually from time to time.
