The community manifest repository powering the default source of the Microsoft Windows Package Manager (winget). It contains YAML manifest files describing thousands of Windows applications and their installers, maintained through community pull requests with automated validation pipelines.
Use cases
- install windows applications from the command line
- submit a new app to the winget package repository
- request a new version of a package in winget
- find the installer manifest for a windows program
- automate software installation on windows machines
When to choose
- you want to publish or update a Windows application in the winget default source
- you need manifest data for Windows software distribution
- you want to request that an app be added to winget
When to avoid
- you need a package manager for Linux or macOS
- you want script-based or font installer support, which is not accepted from the community
- you need the winget client itself rather than the manifest data
