Either the community on GitHub, or someone inside Microsoft.
You can find their repository here (I think most people here are not interested in it tho lol)
I have packaged some software for winget back when I was still using Windows, and yes it runs msi ( or exe ) silently under the hood. Installation processes that are usually done on GUI are automated just like how Homebrew does.
Yeah, but it’s mid at best. Many apps open a GUI installer even with winget. Also updates for many apps don’t work (if the app doesn’t save its version properly in the registry).
winget install Google.Chrome
Windows has a package manager like a big boy OS these days
WinGet is an AppGet rip-off without even a mention of the original creator. I’m still salty about that.
Are you the original creator?
Nah just thought he was treated very poorly by Microsoft.

I think it’s now pre-installed.

Who packages chrome?
I wonder how its packaged too, is winget firing off an MSI in the background with a silent flag?
That’s exactly what it does.
Interesting. Not much of a package manager, then 🤔
