PowerShell’s curl alias is a trap! It’s not the same as the curl you know from Linux.
If you want the real curl windows powershell experience, download the standalone curl.exe from [curl.se](https://curl.se) and add it to your PATH.
Then you can use it like:
```
curl.exe -s -o output.txt https://example.com/file
```
Bonus: Check out `wget` in PowerShell too—it’s another alias for Invoke-WebRequest. Fun times.
