winget: Search for a package.
$ winget search ${package}
try on your machine
The command "winget search ${package}" is used to search for a specific software package (application or program) using the Windows Package Manager (winget).
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "winget" is the command-line tool for managing software packages in Windows using the Windows Package Manager.
- "search" is a subcommand of the winget tool.
- "${package}" is a placeholder representing the specific package name you want to search for. Replace it with the actual package name you are looking for.
For example, if you want to search for the package "Google Chrome," you would run the command: "winget search Google Chrome".
The command will query the package repository and provide a list of matching software packages that match the keyword you entered. It will show details such as the package name, publisher, version, and other relevant information. This can help you find the correct package to install or gather more information about it before proceeding with the installation.
