Upload file to SharePoint Document library using powershell

Question

I want to upload the same file to multiple site collection with the same hierarchy in all the site collection using powershell and the with functionality auto checkin/checkout.

I have able to upload the file in SharePoint. Below is the code. :

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") > $null

# create the Variable Path and Pass the source folder path

$path = “D:\ABC\DEF\26Nov\”;

# create the Variable destination and pass the URL of the SharePoint List

$destination = "complete URL will be mentioned here";

# Store the current user default credentials in the Variable Credentials

$credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials;

# Create the object of the Webclient

$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient;

# Pass the user credentials

$webclient.Credentials = $credentials; Get-ChildItem
Get-ChildItem $path | ForEach-Object { $webclient.UploadFile($destination + “/” + $_.Name, “PUT”, $_.FullName)};

For Each loop will upload all of the files one by one onto the destination using the UploadFile method

By This code the file is upload but its checked, out . I want it to be checkin automatically and incase if file is there the auto-checkout and then checkin.

Please help me on this, as I have already spent 2 days in it. But nothing happens Thanks much for your support

Using $SPFile.Level -eq [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileLevel]::Checkout check the state of file and then checked in it.

function CheckInFile ($SPFile)
{
    $x=$SPFile.ServerRelativeUrl
    write-host "file level" $SPFile.Level -ForegroundColor Green
    if ($SPFile.Level -eq [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileLevel]::Checkout)
    {
        write-host " Checking-in file" $x

        $SPFile.CheckIn("Checkin", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPCheckInType]::MajorCheckin)
    }
    else
    {
        write-host " No Check-in needed for the file" $x

    }
}
