Overview

The winget command line tool enables users to discover, install, upgrade, remove and configure applications on Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers. This tool is the client interface to the Windows Package Manager service. (For more information see here

Currently the process of installing & updating artifacts-credprovider is a bit challenging and requires active user interaction. Using winget to install and update would be a much nicer and easier experience and would allow users to benefit from using the latest version with the latest fixes.

To add artifacts-credprovider to winget is simple, just add to CI/CD pipeline a task per the following documentation. If you need more information you can also contact @denelon for help

Benefits

Often times artifacts-credprovider is one of the dev setup dependencies and having an easy way to winget it would make it easier to onboard and ensure that developers can spin a dev environment quickly

I think the main challenge currently is the release artifacts are NuGet packages rather than an "installer" or a "portable" application.

Yes, it would be great to simplify dev setup. Currently, we have developers install the SDK with:

winget install -e --id Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.6 -v 6.0.403

It would be great if we could do something similar to:

winget install --id Microsoft.ArtifactsCredProvider

This would save a lot of developer time.
