winget install --id=BhusanInTheShell.QixFix -e QixFix is a cross-platform technician utility combining a Quick Fix Toolbox (DNS flush, network reset, print service restart, cache clear, font cache rebuild) with a Software Snapshot tool for listing and exporting installed software. Runs the same way on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Quick fixes and software inventory for IT technicians — Windows, macOS, Linux.

brew install BhusanInTheShell/qixfix/qixfix

src/QixFix.Core — platform-agnostic models and interfaces
src/QixFix.Core.Windows — Windows fixes and software inventory
src/QixFix.Core.MacOS — macOS fixes and software inventory
src/QixFix.Core.Linux — Linux fixes and software inventory
src/QixFix.Cli — the terminal front-end (Spectre.Console)
tests/QixFix.Core.Tests — xUnit tests for command construction and output parsing
