scoop: Search for a package.
$ scoop search ${package}
try on your machine

The command "scoop search ${package}" is used in the Scoop package manager to search for packages. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "scoop" is the command-line program itself, used for installing, updating, and managing packages on Windows.
  • "search" is the specific command within Scoop that allows you to search for packages.
  • "${package}" is a placeholder for the name or search term of the package you want to find. You can replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package or a keyword related to the package you are looking for.

By running this command, Scoop will search its package repository for packages that match your search term and display the results. This helps you find and install the desired packages conveniently from the command line.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
