Automate WinGet manifest updates on release#357
Merged
Conversation
Add a winget CI job that runs after the release job and submits a WinGet manifest update to microsoft/winget-pkgs via WingetCreate, which opens a PR that Microsoft validation and review still gate. WingetCreate is pinned to v1.12.8.0 and SHA-256 verified before running, and the job fails fast if WINGET_CREATE_GITHUB_TOKEN is unset. The installer URL reuses the release job's windows_archive output rather than duplicating the asset name. Document the automation in packaging/winget/README.md and advertise the now-published package (Dropbox.dbxcli, live in the public WinGet source) in the main README.
