choco-search:tldr:487a7
The given command is using the choco (Chocolatey) package manager to search for packages matching a specific query. Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
choco: It is the command-line executable for the Chocolatey package manager. Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows that allows easy installation, upgrade, and management of software packages.
-
search: This is a subcommand that instructs Chocolatey to search for packages.
-
${query}: This is a placeholder representing the query you want to search for. It should be replaced with the actual query you want to use. For example, if you want to search for packages related to "python", you can replace ${query} with python.
-
--local-only: This flag instructs Chocolatey to restrict the search to local repositories only. It means the search will not reach out to remote package repositories or the internet to find new or updated packages. It will only search the packages that are already downloaded and available in the local package repository.
By executing this command with an actual query, you can see a list of packages that match the query from your locally available packages only.
