$ choco source add --name ${name} --source ${url} --user ${username} --password ${password}

try on your machine

This command adds a new package source to Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows. Let's break it down:

choco source add: This is the main command to add a new package source.
--name ${name}: This option specifies the name of the package source. ${name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name you want to give to the source.
--source ${url}: This option specifies the URL or file path of the package source. ${url} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual URL or file path. The package manager will use this source to download and install packages.
--user ${username} --password ${password}: These options are used to provide authentication credentials (username and password) if the package source requires them. ${username} and ${password} are placeholders that should be replaced with the actual username and password for the source.

By running this command with appropriate values, you will be able to add a new package source to Chocolatey, enabling you to install packages from that source using Chocolatey commands.
