This is the deprecated original repository for Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows that works like apt-get, built on NuGet and PowerShell. Development has moved to the chocolatey/choco repository, so this archive should not be used.
Use cases
- install software on windows from the command line
- windows package manager like apt-get
- automate software installation on windows machines
- bulk update installed applications on windows
- script software deployment across windows machines
- manage windows software versions via cli
When to choose
- you need the historical source of the original Chocolatey implementation
- you are researching the project's early history or migration to chocolatey/choco
When to avoid
- you want to actually use Chocolatey today - use the active chocolatey/choco repository instead
- you need bug fixes, security patches, or new features
- you are setting up package management on a new Windows machine
