Add support for winget package manager

Opened this issue · 7 comments

Windows now has a built in package manager called winget. It would be really nice if I could install changie with winget, rather than having to install scoop.

It looks like all you need to do is add a manifest to https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Oh, ok, I will see how to get this integrated and hopefully automated. Thanks for the issue.

Ok, after some research it should be possible. Not sure when I will get to it though.

Awesome! Thank you!

I love using changie but having to install scoop has been an (admittedly minor) hurdle for Windows adoption.

Just a small update here, this is going to need to wait for microsoft/winget-cli-restsource#116 and potentially a goreleaser update after that. Portable builds are in a dev only mode it seems for winget right now. Keeping an eye on it though.

GoReleaser is adding support now goreleaser/goreleaser#4081 hopefully this will be easy to add but will have to see.

Looks like everything is working for goreleaser and winget, I will get to this soon.

Reopening as I had to disable it for my incorrect configuration, I do want to take another look at this but I have no other way to test as I run only Linux at the moment.
