Deploying applications with Windows Package Manager
Windows Package Manager, also referred to by its command name WinGet, is an open source command-line package management tool from Microsoft. In this section, we will cover how to use the WinGet command to install published packages and the steps to add your own MSIX packages to the Windows Package Manager community repository, which can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs.
