![]() ![]() At the time of writing it is still in preview but you can already use it to help you with your manifest files. ![]() Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator aka WingetCreate is a tool "designed to help generate or update manifest files for the Community repo" (quoting the readme of WingetCreate repository). WingetCreate to the rescue Introducing WingetCreate ![]() ![]() Luckily for you, there is a tool to do that for you. For more details, you can have a look at the official documentationĪs a package creator, you probably do not want to create and update this app manifest manually. And each time you release a new version of your application, you have to update your app manifest with the information of your new package version (new version number, new installer location.) and create a PR to the Windows Package Manager Community Repository with this updated version of your manifest. Once you know that, if you are the developer of an application you want to distribute on Windows through the Windows Package Manager you have to create a manifest for your application and publish it through a Pull Request on the Windows Package Manager Community Repository. The default source is the Windows Package Manager Community Repository which is a public GitHub repository where everyone can submit their application package manifest to make an application available for installation to Windows Package Manager users. Sources are repositories that list applications that can be installed by winget and the data needed for them to be installed (in the form of a manifest file containing information such as the installer location of a package for instance). Windows Package Manager allows you to search and install applications that are referenced by the sources you have configured to be used by the winget tool. In my previous articles about winget I talked about installing packages but I did not talk about producing packages for Windows Package Manager. ![]()
