WinGet Releaser is a GitHub Action that automates publishing application releases to the Windows Package Manager (WinGet). When triggered by a GitHub release, it fetches release assets, uses the komac tool to generate/update WinGet manifests, and submits a pull request to the microsoft/winget-pkgs repository. The action supports configurable version retention, installer filtering, and custom release notes. Core functionality resides in a PowerShell script that handles input validation, release data fetching, fork synchronization, komac execution, and version cleanup. The action relies on external tools (gh CLI, komac) but encapsulates complex WinGet publishing logic into a reusable CI component.
The LLM identified 1 files worth highlighting for reuse:
The PowerShell script implements the core automation logic for WinGet Releaser. It validates inputs, fetches release data via GitHub API, synchronizes a fork of winget-pkgs, executes komac to create/update manifests and submit PRs, and handles version cleanup based on max-versions-to-keep. Demonstrates robust error handling, clear step separation, effective use of external tools (komac/gh), and adaptability to different CI systems through environment variable inputs. The script is self-contained with no internal dependencies, making it extractable for reuse in other automation contexts.
