### 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
