Hi @RamonRobben,

Thank you for this, I will investigate this bug further. Were you still able to submit a pull request or did the error terminate before that process could take place? I'm not seeing your PR in winget-pkgs so I'm assuming no.

Hey, No unfortunately it did not submit a PR. I did however try to do it manually but it seems that there is already a package with that software. It just had a different name then what the program came up with. (DockerInc. vs Docker) And some different subfolder names.

That's good to know! Regardless, we appreciate your contribution to our tool :) We are currently working on adding logic to the tool to check for existing packages to help avoid submitting duplicates. In case you didn't know, you can quickly check if a package already exists by entering winget search Docker in terminal or by searching for the package in the winget-pkgs repo.  Thanks again!
