choco-info: Display information on a specific package.
$ choco info ${package}
try on your machine

The command "choco info ${package}" is used in Chocolatey to display information about a specific package.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

  • "choco": This refers to the Chocolatey command-line interface (CLI). Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows that allows you to conveniently install, update, and manage software packages from the command prompt.

  • "info": This is a subcommand of Chocolatey and is used to retrieve information about a specific package.

  • "${package}": This is a placeholder that represents the name of the package you want to retrieve information for. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the desired package.

For example, if you want to get information about a package called "googlechrome", you would use the command "choco info googlechrome". This command will then display details such as the name, version, summary, description, license, and other relevant information about the "googlechrome" package.
