Publish version 0.2.1.X (#18)

- fix pester test execution order in vscode test task.
- fix coveralls.io link in bagde.
- skip coverage report creation for PR triggered builds
- update docs
- Connection type SCP added for `Connect-To` and `Disconnect-From`.

## Internal Changes
- pester tests now don't need to dotsource other public functions from the same module (fixes #17 )
  - helper and private functions stilll needs to be dotsourced.
- basic module tests added
- pester tests for `Resolve-Dependency` added
- Wrapper function  `Get-ModuleBase` added. This enables mocking in tests.

 **The shared store isn't 100% secure and I don't recommend using it in production!**
 
 PSCredentialStore was developed to simplify the delegation of complex powershell scripts. In this case you often
 need to store credentials for non interactive usage like in scheduled tasks.

+# Connect-To
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+Connects to the given host using the stored CredentialStoreItem.
+
+## SYNTAX
+
+### Private (Default)
+```

+ [<CommonParameters>]
+```
+
+### Shared
+```
+Connect-To -RemoteHost <String> [-Identifier <String>] -Type <String> [-Credentials <PSCredential>]
+ [-Path <String>] [-Shared] [<CommonParameters>]
+```
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+Establish a connection to the selected host using a stored CredentialStoreItem.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+### EXAMPLE 1
+```
+Connect-To -RemoteHost "ucs.myside.local" -Type CiscoUcs
+```
+
+### EXAMPLE 2
+```
+Connect-To -RemoteHost "ftp.myside.local" -Type FTP
+```
+
+### EXAMPLE 3
+```
+Connect-To -RemoteHost "fas.myside.local" -Type NetAppFAS
+```
+
+### EXAMPLE 4
+```
+Connect-To -RemoteHost "esx01.myside.local" -Type VMware
+```
+
+### EXAMPLE 5
+```

+### EXAMPLE 6
+```
+Connect-To -RemoteHost "exchange01.myside.local" -Type ExchangeHTTP
+```
+
+### EXAMPLE 7
+```
+Connect-To -RemoteHost "exchange01.myside.local" -Type ExchangeHTTPS
+```
+
+## PARAMETERS
+
+### -Credentials
+Use this parameter to bypass the stored credentials.
+Without this parameter Connect-To tries to read the
+needed credentials from the CredentialStore.
+If you provide this parameter you skip this lookup behavior.
+So you can use it to enable credentials without preparing any user interaction.

+```
+New-CredentialStore [-Shared] [-Path <String>] [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]
+```
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+You need to run this script first to create a new credential store before you try to
+save new credentials with New-CredentialStoreItem.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+### EXAMPLE 1
+```
+New-CredentialStore
+```
+
+# Creates a new private CredentialStore
+
+### EXAMPLE 2
+```
+New-CredentialStore -Force
+```
+
+# Resets an existing private CredentialStore
+
+### EXAMPLE 3
+```
+New-CredentialStore -Shared
+```
+
+# Creates a new shared CredentialStore
+
+### EXAMPLE 4
+```
+New-CredentialStore -Shared -Path "C:\TMP\CredentialStore.json"
+```
+
+# Creates a new shared CredentialStore in the given location.
+
+## PARAMETERS
+
+### -Force
+Use this switch to reset an existing store.
+The complete content will be wiped.
+
+```yaml
+Type: SwitchParameter
+Parameter Sets: (All)
+Aliases:
+
+Required: False
+Position: Named
+Default value: False

+```yaml
+Type: String
+Parameter Sets: Shared
+Aliases:
+
+Required: False
+Position: Named
+Default value: "{0}\PSCredentialStore\CredentialStore.json" -f $env:ProgramData

+Creates a CredentialStore in the Shared mode.
+This enables you to read the CredentialStore Items on
+different systems or profiles.
+In addition you can optionally provide a custom path wit the -Path parameter.
+
+```yaml
+Type: SwitchParameter
+Parameter Sets: Shared
+Aliases:

+# PSCredentialStore
+## about_PSCredentialStore
+
+
+# SHORT DESCRIPTION
+PSCredentialStore enables managing multiple PSCredential objects.
+
+
+# LONG DESCRIPTION
+The PSCredentialStore is an simple credential manager for PSCredentials. It stores multiple credential objects in a
+simple json file. You can choose between a private and shared store. The private one exists in your profile and can
+ony accessed by your account on the same machine. The shared store enables you to use different credentials for your
+script without exposing them as plain text.
+
+**The shared store isn't 100% secure and I don't recommend using it in production!**
+
+PSCredentialStore was developed to simplify the delegation of complex powershell scripts. In this case you often
+need to store credentials for non interactive usage like in scheduled tasks.
+
+To get started read the [about_PSCredentialStore](/src/en-US/about_PSCredential.help.txt) page.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+## PowerShellGallery.com (Recommended Way)
+
+* Make sure you use PowerShell 4.0 or higher with `$PSVersionTable`.
+* Use the builtin PackageManagement and install with: `Install-Module PSCredentialStore`
+* Done. Start exploring the Module with `Import-Module PSCredentialStore ; Get-Command -Module PSCredentialStore`
+
+## Manual Way
+
+* Take a look at the [Latest Release](https://github.com/OCram85/PSCredentialStore/releases/latest) page.
+* Download the `PSCredentialStore.zip`.
+* Unpack the Zip and put it in your Powershell Module path.
+  * Don't forget to change the NTFS permission flag in the context menu.
+* Start with `Import-Module PSCredentialStore`
+
+**1.** First we need a blank CredentialStore. You can decide between a *private* or *shared* store. The private
+Credential Store can only be accessed with your profile on the machine you created it.
+```powershell
+# Private Credential Store
+New-CredentialStore
+
+# Shared Credential Store
+New-CredentialStore -Shared
+
+#Shared CredentialStore in custom Location
+New-CredentialStore -Shared -Path 'C:\CredentialStore.json'
+```
+
+**2.** Now you can manage your CredentialStoreItems:
+```powershell
+# This will prompt for credentials and stores it in a private store
+New-CredentialStoreItem -RemoteHost 'dc01.myside.local' -Identifier 'AD'
+
+# You can now use it in other scripts like this:
+$DCCreds = Get-CredentialStoreItem -RemoteHost 'dc01.myside.local' -Identifier 'AD'
+Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'dc01.myside.local' -Credential $DCCreds -ScripBlock {Get-Process}
+```
+
+The CredentialStore contains also a simple function to establish a connection with several systems or protocols.
