winget-package-submission

This repository contains a workflow to automate the upgrade of a winget package. You can find more information in this article.

Using this workflow

To use this workflow, you have to:

• copy-paste the .github/workflows/winget-submission.yml file in your github repository
• generate a PAT with the scope public_repo and add it to the secrets of your project with the name Project_PAT
• replace the environment variable value packageFileName with the filename of your package in the GitHub releases of your project
• replace the environment variable value packageId with the identifier of your package in Windows Package Manager

Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator

This workflow uses Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator to update and submit a new version of a package manifest

Workflow trigger

The workflow is triggered each time a release is published. The idea behind that is to have a new package submitted when a new version of the package has been released.

GitHub Actions

The only GitHub Action used for this workflow is the shell runner action, which is powershell core here as the workflow runs on windows-latest.
