To get a clear picture on how the build process works it is good to know where you need to store what files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following two directories are the most commen places where you need to add files:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TheAzureCloudNinjaModule\\TheAzureCloudNinjaModule\\private
TheAzureCloudNinjaModule\\TheAzureCloudNinjaModule\\public<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TheAzureCloudNinjaModule\\ TheAzureCloudNinjaModule\\ private<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Within this directory you need to store all functions that are going to be used within the PowerShell module. These functions will not <\/strong>be exposed for the end user to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The easiest way to look at this directory is that all function here are not<\/strong> going to be stored in the module manifest (FunctionsToExport).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
