📋 Description

TIL Microsoft are currently previewing winget: a package manager for Windows (a bit like Chocolatey or Scoop, but first-party). https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli This might gain some traction, or it might be bit of a zune but the fact that it is the MS "blessed" solution to a real problem does make this noteworthy.

Manifest yaml format: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs#authoring-a-manifest
This would allow us to produce license/version badges.

🔗 Data

Registry-wise they seem to be going down the cocoapods route where all the package manifests live in a big GH repo: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Somewhat unclear how stable/subject to change this all is.

🎤 Motivation

I don't especially want to use this myself because 🐧 but I figure its useful to have a tracking issue for it.
