![]() ![]() OneGet isn't Microsoft's ChocolatelyĬhocolatey is an open source apt-get-like machine-wide package manager that you can use today, even if you don't have Windows 10. Since it's PowerShell, you can sort and filter and what-not to your heart's delight. You can type "Get-Package" and see the programs AND packages on your machine: C:\> Get-Package Usually programs are installed with things like MSIs, for example, so there's a provider for that. Go out to you Windows 10 PowerShell prompt now and type "Get-PackageProvider" and you'll see the package managers you have registered with OneGet today. But OneGet isn't actually a package manager. It's easy (and wrong) to just say that One-Get is Apt-Get for Windows. You can read about OneGet architecture here. One of the little gems in Windows 10 that no one is talking about (yet) is OneGet. Now it's 2015 and many of us are upgrading to Windows 10. ![]() In 2013 I asked the questions " Is the Windows user ready for apt-get?" As with nearly all my blog posts, the comments are better than the post itself.
