WinGet Config support #2416

Open savannahostrowski opened 1 year ago

savannahostrowski commented 1 year ago

The WinGet team recently released WinGet configuration, which is configuration as code that can help Windows developers with machine setup and project onboarding. With WinGet configuration, a developer can check configuration as code into their project that details the dependencies/versions/etc. and then when new developers onboard to their project, they can run winget configure in their development environment to install all of the relevant runtimes/tools for the project.

While we (the azd team) have spent a lot of time driving down the number of dependencies required for a developer to get started with the azd binary, there is still opportunity for us to help streamline the getting started experience of templates/azd-compatible codebases.

We should explore having some of our core commands look for WinGet configuration (perhaps in infra/) in azd-compatible projects and add logic to azd to run winget configure under the hood, when applicable. Some ideas here might be to investigate how we could include such logic into:

We could would also want to include WinGet configurations in the templates we author for easier onboarding.

Currently, we manage and configure our internal dependencies i.e., Bicep CLI and GitHub CLI. Managing and configuring external runtimes, tools and dependencies feels too big of a scope for Dilithium. Moving to backlog.
