馃搵 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.

馃敆 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.

馃帳 Motivation

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

Nope - still open if anyone would like to work on it.

Meanwhile, here is a workaround by manually creating a custom query to Repology. Here is an example with ElectronMail:

![Winget version](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/xml?label=Winget&prefix=v&query=%2F%2Ftr%5B%40id%3D%27winget%27%5D%2Ftd%5B3%5D%2Fspan%2Fa&url=https%3A%2F%2Frepology.org%2Fproject%2Felectronmail%2Fversions)

Winget version

Thanks for sharing @sitiom!

It's highly unlikely that any of us maintainers will ever work on this, so it's only likely to ever come to fruition if someone from the community works on it. We've got a good tutorial that walks through the process of adding a badge if you or anyone else is interested
