Deploying applications with Windows Package Manager
Windows Package Manager (WinGet) is a new, open source command-line package management tool from Microsoft. It is currently in preview, and the public 1.0 release date is not yet known. 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. This is where WinGet finds available packages to install. The goal is to have WinGet eventually include all applications published to the Microsoft Store. So, if you plan to publish your application to the store, it is not necessary to also publish it to the WinGet repository.
Let's start by reviewing the steps to add a package to the community repository.
Note
Because Windows Package Manager is still in preview, these steps may change. You can find current guidance on the community repository at https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs.
