Winget Packages

This small PowerShell module provides a tooling to install applications via winget as predfined packages. The packages are define as a simple JSON configuration file like the example in the configuration section.

Confguration

The configuration schema is able to define multiple packages and each package combines multiple apps for installation via the PowerShell module.

{
    "$schema": "./schema.json",
    "packages": [
        {
            "name": "General",
            "applications": [
                {
                    "id": "7zip.7zip"
                },
                {
                    "id": "DominikReichl.KeePass"
                },
                {
                    "id": "Microsoft.Edge"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "Development",
            "applications": [
                {
                    "id": "Git.Git"
                },
                {
                    "id": "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise"
                },
                {
                    "id": "Microsoft.VisualStudioCode"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
