Publishing your application to the Windows Package Manager repository

Installing applications can be a long and tedious process, especially if you're building a new machine and you have to reinstall all the tools you need for your work and personal file. What if you could somehow automate this process? What if you can make it faster rather than having to pick the applications you need one by one? These are the reasons that led Microsoft to create a new utility called Windows Package Manager (the short name is winget), which is inspired by other popular tools such as Advanced Package Tool (APT) and Chocolatey.

Note

Windows Package Manager is deployed through the AppInstaller application, which is built inside Windows. As such, you will find this utility already available on every Windows installation starting from Windows 10 1709. Preliminary versions of the new releases are available through the official GitHub repository at https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases...
