I have this variable inside PowerShell, /sites/testprojectsite/SitePages. Now how can I extract all the characters from the last / till the end, which is sitePages in my case?

There are a lot of ways to get that.

One might be

$var = "/sites/testprojectsite/SitePages"
$leaf = $var -split "/" | Select-Object -Last 1
$leaf

Try it online.

You also have the string.split() method which returns an array. With any array, an index of [-1] returns the last element:

$path = '/sites/testprojectsite/SitePages'
$path.Split('/')[-1]

PS > $path = '/sites/testprojectsite/SitePages'

PS > $path.Split('/')[-1]
SitePages

It even works on a Mac, with PowerShell installed
