choco-info: Specify a custom source to receive packages information from.
$ choco info ${package} --source ${select}
try on your machine
The command "choco info ${package} --source ${select}" is used to retrieve information about a specific package from a specified source using Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "choco info": This part of the command instructs Chocolatey to provide information about a package.
- "${package}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to obtain information about. For example, if you want to get information about the package named "example-package", you would replace "${package}" with "example-package".
- "--source ${select}": This part specifies the source from which to retrieve information. "${select}" is another placeholder that should be replaced with the source you want to use. Chocolatey allows you to configure multiple package sources, such as the official Chocolatey community repository or custom internal sources. By specifying "--source", you can choose the specific source you want to query.
For example, if you want to retrieve information about the package "example-package" from the official Chocolatey community repository, the command would be: choco info example-package --source https://community.chocolatey.org/
