WingetPathUpdater jazzdelightsme

WingetPathUpdater is a tool designed to resolve the issue where newly installed software via winget doesn't update the PATH environment variable in existing command shells. It provides shell wrapper scripts for cmd and PowerShell that capture changes to the PATH before and after installation, allowing users to automatically append only the necessary updates to their current environment without manual intervention.

Key Features:

• Shell wrapper scripts (cmd and PowerShell) for seamless integration.
• Captures "before" and "after" snapshots of the PATH variable.
• Adds minimal necessary changes to the end of the current PATH, preserving existing configurations.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers, system administrators, and anyone managing packages on Windows. It streamlines the installation process by automatically updating the PATH, enabling immediate access to new commands without restarting shells or manually adjusting environment variables.

WingetPathUpdater can be installed via winget.
