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

This command is likely used in a Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt to gather information about a specific Chocolatey package installed on a local machine.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • choco is the Chocolatey package manager command.
  • info is one of the commands available in Chocolatey that provides information about packages and their versions.
  • ${package} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to gather information about. It could be something like googlechrome or git, depending on the package you're interested in.
  • --local-only is an optional parameter used to limit the search for information to only the locally installed packages. If not specified, it will search in all available package sources.

So, when executing this command with a specific package name, it will display detailed information about that package, such as the version, dependencies, installation directory, and more.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
