Description
A command-line package manager for Windows that lets users discover, install, upgrade, remove, and configure applications from repositories.
WinGet (Windows Package Manager) is a package management system for Microsoft Windows centered on the `winget` command-line tool. It provides a standardized way to search for software, install applications, upgrade installed packages, uninstall software, and export or import sets of applications for repeatable machine setup. WinGet uses package manifests (typically YAML) that describe an application’s installer sources, supported architectures, installation switches, dependencies, and metadata; these manifests are used by repositories to enable consistent acquisition and automation. The tool supports multiple package sources (including the community repository and organizational/private repositories), and offers features aimed at automation and fleet management such as silent installation options, version pinning/selection where available, and scripting-friendly output.
WinGet integrates with Windows tooling and can be used in administrative workflows to provision devices, keep software up to date, and replicate configurations across systems.
