Windows Package Manager v0.1.42101 Preview

3 years ago

This update will allow you to:
winget install git or winget install powershell

The default behavior for the commands above requires a case insensitive match with a package by Id, Name, or Moniker. If you specify which field with an argument, you can make it even more specific. You can use the show command to play around with it as it uses the same semantics to find a package without the need to cancel the install.

We've also added a feature toggle mechanism so you can enable or disable experimental features.
winget features will provide a list of features and their status
