choco-source: Add a new package source with a client certificate.
$ choco source add --name ${name} --source ${url} --cert ${path\to\certificate_file}
try on your machine

This command adds a new package source to Chocolatey, a popular package manager for Windows. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • choco source add: This is the main command to add a new package source.
  • --name ${name}: This parameter specifies the name of the package source. ${name} should be replaced with the desired name of the source.
  • --source ${url}: This parameter specifies the URL of the package source repository. ${url} should be replaced with the actual URL.
  • --cert ${path\to\certificate_file}: This optional parameter is used to specify the certificate file required to access a secure package source. ${path\to\certificate_file} should be replaced with the actual file path of the certificate.

In summary, this command is used to add a new package source to Chocolatey, providing the name, URL, and optional certificate information for the source repository.
