## DESCRIPTION

Packages, bundles and\or obfuscates scripts. Packaging and bundling are not mutually exclusive. Obfuscation\
requires packaging.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1

```
PS C:\> Merge-Script -Script .\MyScript.ps1 -Output .\ -Package
```

Packages MyScript.ps1 into MyScript.exe and then outputs it to .\\

### Example 2

```
PS C:\> Merge-Script -Script .\MyScript.ps1 -Output .\Bundle -Bundle
```

Bundles MyScript.ps1 and any scripts it dot sources into a single file and outputs it to .\Bundle.

### Example 3

```
PS C:\> Merge-Script -Script .\MyScript.ps1 -Output .\Bundle -Bundle -Package
```

Bundles MyScript.ps1 and any scripts it dot sources into a single file and then packages it into MyScript.exe and outputs it to .\Bundle.

### Example 4

```
PS C:\> Merge-Script -Script .\MyScript.ps1 -Output .\Bundle -Bundle -Package -Obfuscate
```

Bundles MyScript.ps1 and any scripts it dot sources into a single file and then packages it into MyScript.exe and outputs it to .\Bundle. The resulting executable will be obfuscated.
