Link to GUID generator

[TotallyInformation]

Since the unique identifier section on this page needs a GUID, it would be really helpful to tell people how to generate one. A link to an online generator would be nice :-)

Windows Terminal requires Windows 10. AFAIK, that always includes Windows PowerShell 5.1, so New-Guid should be available. It does not display braces around the GUID, though.

#58 asks for the same thing.

[TotallyInformation]

I commented from the docs page so couldn't see #58.

What you say is certainly correct but doesn't get away from the fact that not everyone who uses Terminal will use PowerShell. Even those that do occasionally use it like myself won't necessarily remember how to do everything.

The docs need to say how to create a GUID. Not much bothered how. Online or PowerShell is fine. Online is probably more useful to more people but PowerShell instructions are probably still only 1 line.

Addressed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/profile-advanced#unique-identifier
...and I just added an option for UUID generation as well: 4633866#diff-2b5dbec4b9d4c9acd68ba9fd10ede003994ba71a24cc004200e6577759b1f708
