choco-pin: Pin a package at its current version.
$ choco pin add --name ${package}
try on your machine

The command "choco pin add --name ${package}" is used in the Chocolatey package manager to add a package to the pin list.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • "choco" is the command-line tool for Chocolatey package manager.
  • "pin" is a subcommand that allows you to interact with the pin list in Chocolatey. The pin list is used to override the upgrades of specific packages, ensuring they remain at the pinned version.
  • "add" is a subcommand used to add packages to the pin list.

The specific option used in this command is:

  • "--name" is an option used to specify the name of the package to be added to the pin list. It is followed by the value of the package name which is denoted as "${package}".

In order to use this command, you would replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to pin.
