  • TIL Windows can install apps with just command prompts using winget

    Ang tagal ko na gumagamit ng Windows, ngayon ko lang nalaman. lol

    • It's default software on Windows 10/Windows 11 22H2. I started using it once they made it available on Github a couple years back and it's pretty neat. You can upgrade your apps with just winget upgrade --all, search if an app is available on their pseudo-repository with winget search <app name>. You can also export/import a list of your installed applications if you say, want to make an easy migration from system to another.

      • This is pretty neat. Probably a safer and secure way to install applications, just like I initially did with Linux Mint earlier this year.

        • Only difference though is that the installers for software not on the MS Store are pulled from their respective sites. So there may still be a small risk if the site hosting the installer has been compromised.

          • Anyway, with this method, we can guarantee that we are installing apps from official source.
