choco-search:tldr:5b725

choco-search: Provide a username and password for authentication.
$ choco search ${query} --user ${username} --password ${password}
try on your machine

This command is written in the context of using a package manager called "chocolatey" which is used for installing and managing software on Windows operating systems.

Explanation of the command:

  • choco search: This is the main command that instructs chocolatey to search for packages in its repository.
  • ${query}: This is a placeholder that represents the query string you want to search for. You need to replace ${query} with the actual search term you want to use.
  • --user ${username}: This optional parameter specifies the username to be used for authentication with the chocolatey repository. Replace ${username} with your actual username.
  • --password ${password}: This optional parameter specifies the password to be used for authentication with the chocolatey repository. Replace ${password} with your actual password.

So when you execute this command with the appropriate values filled in, it will search for packages with the provided query in the chocolatey repository using the specified username and password for authentication.
