WinGet Studio
This repository contains the source code for WinGet Studio (Experimental).
> [!WARNING]
> This software should be considered experimental.
Overview
Building WinGet Configuration files (Configuration as Code with Microsoft (DSC) Desired State
Configuration) is a complex undertaking for folks who are not already familiar with the technology
stack. WinGet Studio is an experiment to see how we can help make it easier to author configuration
files and build or test DSC resources.
WinGet Studio is designed to help users create and modify WinGet Configuration files. It also
includes the ability to use "get", "set", and "test" for any installed Desired State
Configuration (DSC) resources.
