winget: Display information about a package.
$ winget show ${package}
try on your machine

The command "winget show ${package}" is used to display detailed information about a specific package in Microsoft's Windows Package Manager (winget).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "winget" refers to the Windows Package Manager executable.
  • "show" is the subcommand used to retrieve information about a specific package.
  • "${package}" is a placeholder representing the package name or identifier you want to display information about. You need to replace '${package}' with the actual package you want to inspect.

By executing this command and providing the correct package name or identifier, you will receive detailed information about that package. This information typically includes the package name, publisher, version, description, installation location, and more.

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.
