choco-source: Disable a package source.
$ choco source disable --name ${name}
try on your machine

This command is used in a Windows command prompt or PowerShell window to disable a Chocolatey package source (repository) specified by the name variable.

Here's what each part of the command does:

  • choco: It is the command for Chocolatey package manager, used for installing, updating, and managing software packages on Windows.
  • source: It is a subcommand that deals with managing package sources.
  • disable: It is a flag that tells Chocolatey to disable a package source.
  • --name ${name}: It is an option used to specify the name of the package source (repository) to be disabled. The ${name} represents a variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the source when executing the command.

Overall, this command helps in disabling a specific Chocolatey package source, so it won't be considered for package installations or updates.
